Hi Guest,

Did you specify in the Cacti settings that you are using a 5.x version of NET-SNMP ?? There is a difference in syntax 4.x <-> 5.x

I don't have the GUI with me now, but there is that drop-down box where you select either version.
It's where you can configure also you paths to the various applications (like rrdtool,php etc)

Regards,
Jan
