Hi

I have earlier done a successful installation on windows.

I was trying to set cacti running on linux fc4.

I followed the instructions in : Comprehensive Linux Install Guide by Lee Carter .

The crontab just wont work it seems ....rra files wont updates..and nothing comes up in the cacti.log files either..looks like a permission issue...but i cant put my finger where i went wrong...

Thanks

Details :-

crontab :

[b]*/5 * * * * cactiuser /www/php/bin/php /www/htdocs/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1[/b]

d0ors,
you are running two poller processes. One of them is enough. It seems, that user "cactiuser" has a cron entry and root the other one. You'll want to delete one of them.

I had added a cron entry under the cactiuser profile as part of troubleshooting....it does not work anyways...even if there is just one cron job under root...i have removed the other entry..if i run the cron job manually it does seem to create the rrd files..but still no graphs..snmpwalk works manually..

I think you don't want specify the user when you run the cronjob from a crontab.

Try:

*/5 * * * * /www/php/bin/php /www/htdocs/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1

In your cacti users crontab. Or, alternatively, put what you have already in your /etc/cron.d/ dir as a file.

Letting cron run without specifying any user doesnt seem to help either.

Thanks

Did you let it run w/o the specifying the user in the root crontab or the cactiuser cront tab?

Is your cacti log file reporting anything when the cron job runs?

Another thought, you could try redirecting the output to a text file to see if that sheds any light on what is happening:

*/5 * * * * /www/php/bin/php /www/htdocs/cacti/poller.php > /home/cactiuser/polleroutput 2>&1
