[Solved] poller.php problems

[hcpr]

Hi, hopefully someone knows how to solve this problem I'm having. I can't seem to find anything in the archives that matches.

When the poller i run, it basically hangs until it's killed because of timeout.
The following is the output from debug:

05/03/2005 02:40:00 PM - POLLER: Poller[0] DEBUG: About to Spawn a Remote Process [CMD: /usr/bin/php, ARGS: -q /var/www/localhost/htdocs/cacti/cmd.php 0 38]

05/03/2005 02:44:57 PM - POLLER: Poller[0] Maximum runtime of 296 seconds exceeded. Exiting.

I looked through the poller.php script and I can only see one thing that looks strange (maybe) there:
Near the top it truncates the poller_time table:

• // Initialize poller_time and poller_output tables
  db_execute("truncate table poller_time");

And later on in the script there is an attempt to read data from the same table:

• while (1) {
  $polling_items = db_fetch_assoc("select poller_id,end_time from poller_time where poller_id = 0");
  
  if (sizeof($polling_items) == $process_file_number) {

This is probably not the problem

cacti version: 0.8.6d

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Looks like PHP is segfaulting before polling any data. Do you have permissions setup properly? Is this a new install?

No permission problems that I could find.
However I set the machine to recompile everything over the last day (well, nearly everything, gcc, apache, php, mysql, cacti and some others and now it looks like things are working properly.

I'm going to go with some incomatability with the version og php I was using.

Thanks for the reply.
