no rrd files for remote machines

Localhost works fine. Adding other machines via SNMP doesn't work.

Here's the cacti.log after running cmd.php with debugging:

FWIW the device is listed with all discovered interfaces fine.

Any ideas?

Nobody has any ideas at all?

The debugging documentation that Gandalf regularly asks people to use does not contain any fixes for this apparently.

Perhaps I should be filing a bug?

[jmkgreen]

OK I got frustrated with this.

I deleted the cacti installation and installed the -i release instead. Apache has password protection on the web site to it's an acceptable risk.

And what do you know... It works fine.

So something in the -j release is broken. I might try a patched installation next and report back. But a fresh -j install doesn't work on remote SNMP hosts.

Your j version was not fully patched? Please always make sure to apply all published patches. The are NOT integrated into tar.gz nor into cacti rpms

I was browsing the site while awaiting another test and found a page listing patches including one for PHPv4 users. This fixed it.

Perhaps this should be mentioned on the main download page!
