Cacti 0.8.6j Poller problem.

[electro93]

When trying to get poller to work (to generate RRD databases and graphs), I am getting the following error:

It appears that it is unable to create any graphs for external systems. I have downgraded to 0.8.6i and it works flawlessly. I would love to get this working with 0.8.6j. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

Thanks,

I'm pretty much a n00b at running cacti but have gotten it 'almost' there.

When I run cmd.php from the command prompt, it prints out:

Code: Select all

When I run poller.php without running cmd.php first all I get is:

Code: Select all

Waiting on 1/1 pollers.
Waiting on 1/1 pollers.

until I hit the php script timeout limit around 293 seconds~.

If I run cmd.php first and then run poller.php I'll see:

Code: Select all

OK
OK

Waiting on 1/1 pollers.
Waiting on 1/1 pollers.
etc...

In debug mode (poller.php):

Code: Select all

But again, this is after running cmd.php first from the prompt.
Without running cmd.php first we get this:

I tried to use the cactid.exe dated 4/14/2007 but it just tries to read a /tmp/mysql.sock and dies on the mysql connection.
The October 2006 cactid.exe I had in there executed but just printed out the config file it used and the next line was simply a "#".

At this point I only have 2 graphs defined and enabled for a single host. When run manually with cmd.php then poller.php the graphs update themselves just fine.


Cacti 0.8.6j (and patched)
PHP version 5.12
MySQL 5.0.18
Winblows 2003 Server

Any help would be great. I've searched the forums and found variations but most of the solutions involved either running cactid.exe or making sure cacti itself was patched and up2date.

Thanks
