problem with weathermap 0.81

[Howie]

i replaced to the full path in the editor config but it didn't work, i may can trace the problem if i know which part of the code is responsible for reading the config file and producing the images. .

HCT, have you tried disabling other plugins you may have installed? (just for one poller cycle). The only times I've seen this is when another plugin has an error, and as a result nothing following it is run at all. The problem before has been with Reports. I've just been reminded by another thread here.

Hi Howie,
I try to install your wathermap by using plugin.
Altough I run

Code: Select all

--config /var/www/html/cacti/plugins/weathermap/configs/backbone.conf --htmloutput /var/www/html/cacti/plugins/weathermap/output/backbone.html --output /var/www/html/cacti/plugins/weathermap/images/backbone.png

command I dont see any map in cacti-weathermap tab.
I check the logs, I see:

09/06/2006 10:15:03 AM - WEATHERMAP: Poller[0] Output directory (/var/www/html/cacti/plugins/weathermap/output) isn't writable (tried to create '/var/www/html/cacti/plugins/weathermap/output/weathermap.permissions.test'). No maps created. You probably need to make it writable by the poller process (like you did with the RRA directory)

the permissions is nobody:nobody in:
plugins/
weathermap/*
and cactiuser:users in
weathermap/output / ( actually I tried nobody:nobody couples. buta result was same)

As result,
I get This map hasn't been created yet messages in weathermap tab

have you any suggestion about this problem?

As long as your poller runs as cactiuser, then that should let it create maps... you *might* need to make sure that the directory is readable by the webserver's user. However you wouldn't see that error in the logs then, only no maps.

Just to be sure, is the output directory actually empty? (apart from the deleteme file)

I think I solve the problem
Now I have to add these commands into crontab

which commands?? You shouldn't need to change the crontab for a running cacti. The poller does all the work.

Really?
Is poller understand which config file exists?

You use the Manage..Weathermaps to tell it which config files exist. Please read the installation guide and the Cacti Plugin guide (in the weathermap manual)
