about to spawn msg; no graphs / rrd files are not created

[pipemajor]

Hi i am an newbi and i have some really big troubles!!!
Problem:
no graphs are created the rrd files are not created

history:
I used and older version of cacti (it was included at suse 9.3) and i made some xml data inputs with it. It worked great!

when i tried to install thold 2.1a the whole system broke -> i installed a newer vesion (0.8.6h) but still my graphs are not shown (i left the rrdtool versions and the mysql database as they were)

i ran php poller.php which produced the following message:
03/12/2006 01:11:46 AM - POLLER: Poller[0] DEBUG: About to Spawn a Remote Process [CMD: /usr/bin/php, ARGS: -q /srv/www/htdocs/cmd.php 0 3]

what can I do?

Check that your cacti user has write access to the /rra folder.
Do you have the poller.php running every 5 min in your cron?

Hmm...
I checked it but i have the permissions and the poller might run I checked the cacti job file in /etc/cron.d/cacti which is
*/5 * * * * php /srv/www/htdocs/poller.php >/dev/null 2>&1
so i think it might run.

Including to that problem my log file grows and grows like:

Those SNMP line shows, that data is gathered. The "rrdtool update" shows (attempted) updates of rrd files (if failed due to lack of permissions, you won't see an error message here; to debug: paste this cmd to cli and run from there).
So please be more precise, perhaps post a screenshot.
BTB: running cacti in DEBUG mode for a longer time is not recommended due to rapidly growing log file

thx for your fast replies!!!
i have solved it now in a very brutal way hehe
i deleted the cati database and added the original again and now it works!
strange isn't it?
