Cacti 0.8.7a cannot create rrd files. HOST STATUS UNKNOWN

[CarLost]

Hi I do a upgrade on a all new machine (I copy all datas and rrds and folders etc. from old one to the new machine).-

Then I make the upgrade just like the doc/UPGRADE say.

when I try to make a new graph y get this

Code: Select all

RRDTool Says:

ERROR: opening '/home/httpd/html/cacti/rra/g_leones_101_traffic_in_21.rrd': No such file or directory

I review all permision and etcs in the dirs and subdirs and change some new parameters on PHP.ini etc!!!!!!

Don't work

Then I drop all DB and remove the complete cacti dir and star all over again....

And I get

Code: Select all

RRDTool Says:

ERROR: opening '/home/httpd/html/cacti/rra/g_leones_101_traffic_in_21.rrd': No such file or directory

the same wtf!!!!!....

then I run manually (with the cacti user)

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/rrdtool create \
/home/httpd/html/cacti/rra/g_leones_101_traffic_in_15.rrd \
--step 300  \
DS:traffic_in:COUNTER:600:0:1000000000 \
DS:traffic_out:COUNTER:600:0:1000000000 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:600 \

Check the devices list and make sure the device in question isn't listed as "down".

Hi

check also that the poller is running through crontab.

[CarLost]

The devices (just one) is "up", and the poller is in crontab, in fact I get errors every 5 mins in "<pth>/log/httpd/error.log"
like ......

Code: Select all

...
...
ERROR: opening '/home/httpd/html/cacti/rra/g_leones_101_traffic_in_16.rrd': No such file or directory
ERROR: opening '/home/httpd/html/cacti/rra/g_leones_101_traffic_in_15.rrd': No such file or directory

I'm sorry, the status is unknown whatever I put SNMP or PING...

and I get this:

Code: Select all

Nov 30 16:23:53 Almendra httpd: PHP Warning:  socket_create() [<a href='function.socket-create'>function.socket-create</a>]: Unable to create socket [1]: Operation not permitted in /home/httpd/html/cacti/lib/ping.php on line 148
Nov 30 16:23:53 Almendra httpd: PHP Warning:  socket_set_block() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/httpd/html/cacti/lib/ping.php on line 150

Don't know why is not permited...... please help

thanks !!!!

PS: php.ini have sockets enable!!!.... can be mysql socket? It is close by default in a new installation.... I'll try

[fmangeant]

Are you running SELinux ?

[CarLost]

Nop, I just using:
ArchLinux kernel 2.6.23
Mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.45
PHP 5.2.5 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2
RRDtool 1.2.23

and the user has the enough permissions (I run ping.pl from scripts without problems).


HELP!!!!!

PD: Just in case.... I decomented the line "extensions=sockets.so" in php.ini
PD2: The errors in PING command are normal since my "cactiuser" don't have root privileges, there is a warning when you selected the IGMP PING!. Anyway... there is some same problems in the forum related to "unknown states"

again

HELP!!!!!

[CarLost]

UFF I read a lot and try even more!!!

If you want I can give you some Limited/access by mp..... I know this is to much to ask but, You can just tell me what's wrong and I'll fix it...

Thanks..... please consider to this option


EDITED:

I compile and starting spine instead cmd.php.
The hosts apear UP but I still don't have any graph (no such file etc etc)

hi Gandalf....

Are you find something?, I really need some light in this, please, if you need something more, just tell me

[gandalf]

This is an issue with cacti not being able to assign the correct data for your indexed query. This problem is an old one but was never fixed, IMHO. I took the relevant part of the cacti.log and a dump of your mysql db for more analysis. But this may take some time

[CarLost]

Thanks Gandalf.... I just have one more question..... I'm the only one who has this problem?

I'll work with the previous version.... I start all over again because some relly noob guy at work make some changes in the old databases, He broke some index and queries....


Thanks.... if you need something more just tell me...... I'll close the external access by Tuesday...

[gandalf]

The error is related to the ifAlias and ifDescr showing more than one consecutive blanks. This is a general error with cacti and I've opened a bug report for it. I'm quite sure that I won't need access from now on (else I will pm you)
Reinhard

[CarLost]

I have to give you a big big thanks for your help..... I hope this can be fixed soon
..

By the way. I prefer an email. Please fell free to send me one whenever you want at. csulz'-at-'cmet.net


Thanks

[gandalf]

Please download database.php from http://svn.cacti.net/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi ... 0.8.7/lib/ as a whole file and replace your current file by the new one. Post your findings.

Also, run the following:

php -m

You must see the following "required" modules:

sockets
snmp (IMHO)
xml
mysql

Many plugins require:

posix
gd

I suspect you are missing the sockets module. Easy fix depending on your os. Typically you might leave it out if you built PHP on you own. Typically it's always enabled if you get from a distro.
