error in cacti.conf

[yunusib]

Nothing just same web log ...

this is the output of /var/www/cacti/log/cacti.log

[artagel]

It looks like you aren't running the poller.
Can you check your crontab to make sure have the poller running?
-Dan

[yunusib]

Here is a screen for cron ...

[artagel]

Alright,
So do 2 things. First in your technical support page give me a screenshot like the one I provided.
Then run the php /var/www/cacti/poller.php manually.
By the way, I suspect that you might need to call out the full path of php instead of just the name. You could also take off the &>/dev/null and output to >/tmp/poller.log. You'll see if you get any errors executing the command.

Here the informations ...

[artagel]

Well I find it odd that you don't get any logs for a poller cycle when you have debug on, but your poller is obviously running.

Try the debugging steps in this link: http://docs.cacti.net/manual:087:4_help ... #debugging


I can't really do much to help unless I can see what the poller is doing.

Thanks for you help and time , i remark on your poller information screen the type was in spine and mine is in cmd ? it doesn't afect anything ?

[artagel]

You only need spine for larger installations. cmd.php should work just fine.
Can you post your cacti.log file here? it's located in the log directory of cacti.

[artagel]

That's all that's in your entire cacti.log file?

Did you update the path on the crontab for php to be the full path?
-Dan

[yunusib]

If there's no cacti user on the system then why are you running the cron as cacti user?

How did you install this system? Manually? or through a repository?

Did you follow the install instructions?
-Dan

[yunusib]

i have install from through a repository via yum...

i just remark that the cron job was not in the crontab -e file i have add it manualy ...

I think you just accidentally added it to another cron.

You have to be careful, because crons are per user.

Do a crontab -l -u cacti
and then crontab -l, unless your terminal happens to be logged in as cacti.
I bet you have it in there twice.

[yunusib]

sorry i win is just once ... lol but it very strange on webmin is the but no crontab?
