Certainly I have added line to crontab and I've checked all paths.

Screen shots please? Poller log please, in MEDIUM? What happens when you run "php poller.php" from the command line (post output), what happens when you run "php <path_cacti>/cmd.php" from the command line. Do all these things in MEDIUM logging and post your results.

Hi again,

When I start cmd.php from console I see following info:

Code: Select all

 "07/21/2006 08:01:01 AM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[1] No host availability check possible for '127.0.0.1'.

Same information, the order is just reversed because you werer looking at the Cacti log in the second example. Your system is fine, I would bet your graphs are ok as well. I suspect a permissions issue.

but where should I try to find, change permission.
I typed: chmod 777 -R /path_to_cacti/
Is this correct???

Post by **TheWitness** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 6:06 am

That was correct, now see if your pollr log is more filled than it was earlier today. If no, thn your cron job is not running properly.

In log tab I have more line with information (similar lines - no errors). How to check ctrontab.

I have added line to cron by cacti_user account, no by root.

Post by **TheWitness** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 7:34 am

Use root. It is likely not running because of some issue with the user ID you chose. Going to root removed that possiblilty.

Everything with crond is OK. I've checked this.
But sill I don't know what I'am doing wrong?????
Please help me......
If I run poller.php form console using cactiuser - cacti working correctly.
But when I'm waiting for data from "crond" - cacri not working correctly....

THX FOR HELP

Maybe you should check to verify that the crond service is running. Try "chkconfig --list | grep cron". If it shows off for levels 345, then "chkconfig crond on" and "etc/init.d/crond start".

You have no graph are all your graph are empty?

hi,

I've checked my mailbox and I have info from cron:

/bin/sh: cactiuser: command not found

mail subject: cron: cactiuser /usr/local/php/bin/php /www/apache/cacti/poller.php

In crontab I have following line */1 * * * * /usr/local/php/bin/php /www/apache/cacti/poller.php

THX for help.

Change your cron to push stdout and stderr to a file and then see what that file says.
