Cann't execute "php poller.php", error returned

[dimsh]

Hi,

I have installed cacti from source, and I have Apache v2.2 & PHP v5.11

when I invoke "php poller.php" as cacti user OR as root I get the following:

Code: Select all

sh: -: command not found

and the terminal is still waiting for commands, so i terminate it with Ctrl+C.
this is also the case when invoking

Code: Select all

./poller.php

cacti directory is [DocRoot]/cacti and I have set the permissions:
chown -R cactiuser:apache [DocRoot]/cacti
chmod -R 775 [DocRoot]/cacti

I think it is a PHP error , not an error in poller.php itself.

BTW: the first line in poller.php is

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/php -q

and I could not know what does the "-q" option do, it is not in php man page.

please if any one have an idea about this error in the CLI caused from php, let me know.

Regards

Sorry,

I do not think it is a PHP error, I have tried another page, which i made:

index.php:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/php -q
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

and it works when running it as ./index.php or as "php index.php"

so, I am still wondering why poller.php gives an error??

is there any way to track that error and debug the execution of poller.php?

The Problem just solved


I did issue the poller command( "php poller.php") before I run

http://xxx/cacti

and proceed with the web installation, after I complete the web installation, i could run php poller.php with no problems.

I recommend that this issue be documented in the installation page of cacti


Regards.

Hi, I'm having a similar problem. Not sure what you mean by:

"I did issue the poller command( "php poller.php") before I run"

-are you simply saying that "terminal # php poller.php" didn't work before the web installation? Or did you mean you had to run some "poller command" before you can go to the web installation, and as a result was able to run poller.php via the terminal?

I meant [terminal # php poller.php] didn't work before the web installation.

and this is not mentioned in the manual.
