Logging and Poller Paths Issue

[macan]

you don't need this, you can use cron only:
https://docs.cacti.net/Installing-Under ... -Debian.md

[davidolaj]

Now I have perfectly installed the Cacti but no graphs after added SNMP Router...

[macan]

You have to add poller to cron (with correct path), it is described in our manual
https://docs.cacti.net/Installing-Under ... -Debian.md

[davidolaj]

Please which path and how do I correct the below;

vim /var/www/html/cacti/service/cactid.service (edit the path)
-------------------------------------------------------

[Unit]
Description=Cacti Daemon Main Poller Service
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
User=apache
Group=apache
EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/cactid
ExecStart=/var/www/html/cacti/cactid.php
Restart=always
RestartSec=5s

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

[macan]

You must know that. It is your server. We don't know how did you install cacti

[davidolaj]

You mean right paths for;
EnvironmentFile=??
ExecStart=??

What do you mean by "EnvironmentFile=" ? Because I can locate /sysconfig/cactid in my /etc folder.

[macan]

what directory you installed cacti?
Execstart will be /path/to/your/cacti/cactid.php

The rest is only copy files, it is described in manual as I wrote

[davidolaj]

My Cacti "ExecStart" path is correct;
ExecStart=/var/www/html/cacti/cactid.php (I hope nothing to edit in the cactid.php) ?

try locate cactid.php
or
find / -type f -name cactid.php

It will find where is your cactid.php. Add this path to cactid.service

[davidolaj]

root@mrtg-server:~# find / -type f -name cactid.php
/var/www/html/cacti/cactid.php


vim /var/www/html/cacti/service/cactid.service

With above paths setting, the Cacti still not show GRAPH.
