No RRD files, no graphs, nothing in the rra directory.

[jdoak]

Well, I feel fairly close to getting this thing going

My basic problem is that I am not getting any files in the rra directory, and my graphs all have the big x.

I checked out the cron job, and I can run it manually from the command line, but I do not receive any errors. But nothing happens either tha I can tell.

I've read 20 or so articles describing similar problems, but none quite match up to this one, that I can see. I don't believe this is a permissions problem, but I've been wrong before.

Here's my setup:
RH 7.3

Permissions for cacti directory:

Crontab:

*/5 * * * * apache php /var/www/sites/cacti/cmd.php > /dev/null 2>&1


Any help would be appreciated. It's taken about 6 hours just to get to this point, so I'm hoping to get this going before I go insane

Thanks for helping.

I checked out the cron job, and I can run it manually from the command line, but I do not receive any errors. But nothing happens either tha I can tell.

Forgive me for a stupid question, but when you run the cronjob manually, you're not including the "> /dev/null 2>&1", are you? If so, you'll never get any output at all. Run "php /var/www/sites/cacti/php.cmd".

Now that we've got that out of the way.

Is there anything showing up in your log/rrd.log file?

Here's my setup:
RH 7.3

This could also be a problem. Are you running net-snmp or ucd-snmp? iirc, 7.3 comes with net-snmp, which doesn't seem to work with cacti without a patch. There's a thread about that somewhere.

Your permissions seem right. (Well, actually, they're way too permissive, and you'll want to tighten them down once you get things working).

I'm still a newbie to this program, myself, so that's about the limit of my abilities.

One correction... RH 7.3 comes with ucd-snmp (RH 8.0 has net-snmp) which works fine with cacti so this is rather not a source of your problems.
