need help with debian

[mike776]

Hello all,
I use to use cacti before and everything was working fine.
Now I got debian again but is new instalation, I install it last week. I try to install cacti by apt-get install cacti everything seems to work fine , but there is no graphs. No files in /usr/share/cacti/site/rra.
Then I uninstall it and install it from tar.gz file. Still no graphs. This is my cacti.log file:

Thanks for your help

[intenso]

be sure that the permissions are correct

the user www-data must have read/write acces to /usr/share/cacti/log and /usr/share/cacti/rra

[mike776]

It does. Thats the first thing I did.
I did chmod 777 to log and rra.
It is driving me crazy everything seems to be OK but there is no graphs...

[rony]

What does your crontab look like that run cacti?

What version of rrdtool are you running?

[mike776]

This is my cron job:
debian:/usr/share/cacti# vi /etc/cron.d/cacti

0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * www-data /usr/share/cacti/poller.php >
/dev/null 2>&1
and the rrdtool ver. is:
debian:/usr/share/cacti# rrdtool -v
RRDtool 1.0.49 Copyright 1997-2004 by Tobias Oetiker <tobi@oetiker.ch>

Usage: rrdtool [options] command command_options

[joudatfd]

this sounds crazy, but can you please try to link /usr/bin/perl, /usr/bin/snmpwalk and /usr/bin/rrdtool into /

i have two installations of cacti (first time on these computers) and it worked (still don't know why, paths to binaries in db seems to be ok)

Is your web server running in a chroot?

not mine ... linking would be useless then ... don't know ... but, here is part of error.log of apache, before linking

I still have problems with the graphs.
I reinstall cacti and then I ran this command as www-data user:
debian:/usr/share/cacti# su www-data
debian:/usr/share/cacti$ php /usr/share/cacti/poller.php >/usr/share/cacti/rra/pooler.log
No log handling enabled - turning on stderr logging
Cannot find module (NONE): At line 0 in (none)
then I check the log file I just created:
debian:/usr/share/cacti/rra# vi pooler.log
