Cacti not showing Realtime Graphs

[anwaraahmad1]

I am unable to see real-time graphs in Cacti; however, the historical graphs are working fine. I have compared the file permission with an existing cacti that is working fine but didn't find any anomalies.

check permission to /path/to/cacti/cache/realtime
webserver user needs write permission here

[anwaraahmad1]

I've already checked the permissions for this file. Is there anything else I might be overlooking?

cacti version?

[anwaraahmad1]

Cacti version is
Version 1.2.27

I think this may have been fixed in 1.2.28. If you are using boost, you should likely go directly to 1.2.x. We need a release, but our release manager does not like doing too many.

I have another cacti server that is also running version 1.2.27 but i don't see any issues with realtime graphs on that server

Cool. I loose track of fixes over time.

[anwaraahmad1]

Can you recommend a workaround for this ? Do i need to update cacti server?

[macan]

update is the best way. 1.2.29 is here
https://github.com/Cacti/cacti/tree/1.2.x

Macan,
Noob question, I am currently running 1.2.27, with the newer 1.2.29 - how would I install that over the current install?
