Failing on LDAP and IMAP

[merana]

Hi again!

I got by the last error thanks to bulek! I'm running into another issue now. When cmd.php fires I get the following errors and I see no data being collected:

PHP Warning: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/imap.so' - /usr/lib/php/imap.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/ldap.so' - /usr/lib/php/ldap.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

I know that the SNMP libs are working because I managed to define a collection Data Source for the Linksys router but when I tried to manually fire the cmd.php command I got this error. Since the cron job seems to dump this output into /dev/null I didn't see it on any other logs. I do see that the five minute job is running based on the cron logs:

Dec 24 14:45:00 flynn CROND[1449]: (webmgmt) CMD (webmgmt php /var/www/html/cacti/cmd.php > /dev/null 2>&1)

Dec 24 14:51:00 flynn CROND[1990]: (root) CMD (/etc/webmin/sysstats/sysstats.sh)

And yes I am running another systat gathering util for Webmin... I am interested in how much more etensible cacti is... If I can ever get over all of my damn systems irregularities...

Thanks in advance.

Just an update...

I have it sort of running now. Last night I even got all of the interfaces to collect data for a bit. Although now it's seems to have stalled...

I can still see the data collection routine running but the graphs are not updating...

I had one earlier boo boo when I ran the cmd.php as root and it created the rrd files as root and thus the cron job running as another user couldn't mod them. For now I am still running as root until I can figure out why the graphs are not updating...

More searching...

Ok... I've got it narrowed down to something odd in the cron job.

I see in the /var/log/cron log that the job is firing:

Dec 27 09:19:00 flynn CROND[2667]: (webcacti) CMD (webcacti php /usr/www/html/cacti/cmd.php > /dev/null 2>&1)
Dec 27 09:20:00 flynn CROND[2991]: (webcacti) CMD (webcacti php /usr/www/html/cacti/cmd.php > /dev/null 2>&1)
Dec 27 09:21:00 flynn CROND[2999]: (webcacti) CMD (webcacti php /usr/www/html/cacti/cmd.php > /dev/null 2>&1)
Dec 27 09:22:00 flynn CROND[3077]: (webcacti) CMD (webcacti php /usr/www/html/cacti/cmd.php > /dev/null 2>&1)
Dec 27 09:23:00 flynn CROND[3112]: (webcacti) CMD (webcacti php /usr/www/html/cacti/cmd.php > /dev/null 2>&1)
Dec 27 09:24:00 flynn CROND[3156]: (webcacti) CMD (webcacti php /usr/www/html/cacti/cmd.php > /dev/null 2>&1)

BUT in the cacti/log/rrd/log I do not see a corresponding update:

12/27/2002 9:19 AM - CMD: /usr/local/rrdtool/bin/rrdtool update /usr/www/html/cacti/rra/linksys_external_out.rrd --template linksys_external_ou N:139735
12/27/2002 9:19 AM - CMD: /usr/local/rrdtool/bin/rrdtool update /usr/www/html/cacti/rra/hp4k_in.rrd --template hp4k_in N:120940525
12/27/2002 9:19 AM - CMD: /usr/local/rrdtool/bin/rrdtool update /usr/www/html/cacti/rra/hp4k_out.rrd --template hp4k_out N:2665052

This last set of entries were from a manual run I did at the console...

So it's got to be either permissions or a context issue... That user "webcacti" owns the files and can run php. Thus the results from the past update. Now I just have to figure out what is tripping cron. And yes, I've stopped and restarted cron, hupped it, the works...

More searching int he BB...

:EDIT:

Just posting threads I've found and invstigated that seemed relevant:

Data only graphs if I run php cmd.php manually


Another update...

I've got it working now... All I did was to remove the last part of the cron command so now it's just like this:

* * * * * webcacti /usr/local/bin/php /usr/www/html/cacti/cmd.php

And it's updating...

For reference I am on:

Apache 1.3.x (current rev)
php 4.x (also current)
RH 8.0

This board is a great resource!
