graphs not populating : brand new install

[cactus friend]

This is a brand new install on a gentoo linux system...I am not able to get any data to show up on my graphs. I thought it was a permission problem, but I have checked in rra/ and log/ and the .rrd and .log files are owned by 'apache' which is the same user I have set to run poller.php in the cron file.

Upon checking the log, I see a lot of these repeating over and over again:

So...I cleared the log, and enabled debug level logging:

I see the Output: U part....that confuses me, shouldn't the output be a number? When I run, for instance, 'perl /var/www/localhost/htdocs/cacti/scripts/unix_processes.pl' I get a number, i.e. '56'. Can anyone tell me the correct ownership permissions for the perl scripts? Maybe that's the problem.

I apologize in advance if this is a common error/solution, but I've read a lot, and am stumped.

Nevermind, I found out the error:

It seems that all the perl scripts in cacti/scripts/ had bad permissions. I wonder if this is an issue with the gentoo ebuild. As soon as I set them readable, perl was able to execute them for non-root users.
