I'm afraid you'll have to use phpMyadmin, or use "update ... from ... set" from the MySQL prompt

actually im in my phpmyadmin now. and under the settings table i cant find anything about path_cacti:
these are the only path options available:

path_cactid
path_cactilog /usr/share/cacti/site/log/cacti.log
path_html_export
path_html_export_skip
path_php_binary /usr/bin/php
path_rrdtool /usr/bin/rrdtool
path_rrdtool_default_font
path_snmpbulkwalk /usr/bin/snmpbulkwalk
path_snmpget /usr/bin/snmpget
path_snmpgetnext /usr/bin/snmpgetnext
path_snmpwalk /usr/bin/snmpwalk
path_webroot /usr/share/cacti/site --> which is the correct dir

ok. after changing the directory for every rrd (damn that took a long time) i could now see the graphs beings populated. php rebuild_poller_cache.php --> i also had to run this as sugested by reinhard.
i will keep u posted if anything goes wrong.

I was wrong. path_cacti indeed is defined dynamically in ./include/config.php

Code: Select all

/* used for includes */
$config["base_path"] = strtr(ereg_replace("(.*)[\/\\]include", "\\1", dirname(__FILE__)), "\", "/");
$config["library_path"] = ereg_replace("(.*[\/\\])include", "\\1lib", dirname(__FILE__));
$config["include_path"] = dirname(__FILE__);

So forget about this part of my message

Whoaa. Not sure, that is was a good idea. Please try creating a new rrd file and see, if it is in the correct place. Again, you are too fast for me. It would be possible, even if using sql, to do what you've done with a single update sql

Yeah, I recently moved my Cacti installation... It used to be at cacti.[domain] with a cPanel username of 'cacti', but I moved it to admin.[domain]/cacti with a cPanel username of 'admin'. This was so I could put all administrative utilities under the one subdomain.

Anyways, I found that I needed to change all the RRD paths in the poller_item table (like sourcecode said, I think). After doing this, everything seems to be working perfectly

In such instances, personally I'd like to create a symlink from cacti installation dir pointing to the "real" dir. Doing so, we keep our data storage on a different volume

As far as I can remember, I used sed on a mysql dump of my cacti database to fix this issue after being forced to move the cacti directory. I think only the poller_item table had to have the hard-coded paths changed. Cacti has been running just fine since then.

I don't think the db should actually store full paths and I think this should be filed as a bug. Agree/disagree?
