Help with cacti setup

[[Snowman]]

Hello im new to cacti and have a problem or 2.
I run it under Trustix 2.2
The rrd don't generate any graphs.

ERROR: opening '/home/httpd/html/cacti/rra/localhost_load_1min_5.rrd': No such file or directory

after reading many many hours i haven't found any answers yet.
Some say that its the crontab

SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/

# Run-parts
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
*/5 * * * * root php /home/http/html/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1

Or the php secure enable ?

I don't have a clue whats wrong so if someone could help me i would be a real happy man.

You probably need the full path to php in the crontab entry.

Code: Select all

which php

Above command will tell you the full path to php.

Yep, like that.

See if you the poller is running correctly now.

Also, you might want to watch the log/cacti.log in your Cacti directory.

I still don't get any graphs and the log is still empty.
How can i check so the polling is working?

[rony]

Have you tried running it manually to see if it's generating any errors. FYI, don't redirect the output to /dev/null.

Please login as cactiuser. Run

Code: Select all

php -q /home/html/http/cacti/poller.php 

from command line (assuming your cacti installation lives at /home/html/http/cacti which is quite unusual) and post the results (you should see some on STDOUT)
