It would appear that your export path is the same as your website. This is a failsafe in Cacti's export function. What version were you using before?

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

Someone changed something. This was a self protection method put in place to prevent you from deleting your web site accidentally.

Change the export path to be somewhere else. Then create a symbolic link back to the original location. That is safe.

I don´t understand, how can I do ?

the original path is

10/30/2007 07:07:15 AM - EXPORT FATAL ERROR: Export path '/usr/share/cacti/site' is the Cacti web root. Can not continue.

Where I want to create or move files, because I changed the path to another place, and did not funtion.

I create /home/cacti and changed the export path, but no chance.

How it would be the correct form to make this?

Thanks

The path in the attached must not be in the web root. Also, it must be writable by the Web server account.

If I create /home/cacti to create graphs, where I create the symbolic link ?
