problem with accessing host

Post by communication.boy »

I have installed Cacti version 0.8.7b on my XP host machine . The problem is that when i add a host i.e. my router whose ip address is 192.168.1.25 it says can not connect to host ( from the web page ) while i can ping my router from my XP machine from command prompt . I am configuring only ping from cacti . Then after it I added my local machine to cacti but again it said cannot connect to host . Is there any known problem in this version in this thing .

Do you know your router supports SNMP?

Well yes SNMP is enabled in my router but I have tried accessing router with SNMP and Ping to ( once with only PING - icmp ) but in the ICMP process it also gives the same error that cannot connect to host while I am able to ping my router from my same machine ( cmd ) where cacti is installed . Secondly I tried adding my local PC i.e. the pc on which cacti is installed , again it gives the same error that can not locate host .

Switch the device detection to SNMP.

Any firewalls blocking the snmp / icmp traffic?
Any errors while setting up / installing cacti?
Did you follow my installation guide?

Can you tell me where your installation guide is located . I have installed cacti using an .exe file i got from internet " cacti-0.8.7b.1.8.exe " . One more thing is that I posted one more problem on the forum which was of graph not connectivity, I see an X sign on the graph but not the graph , does it require any applet . but you have locked that topic and written that " Stop cross-posting."

It's linked in my signature, the sticky in this forum, the documentation site, etc.

Right, likely it's related to the issues you're having in this thread. Go to Graph Mangement. Click on a graph. In the top right corner, enable Graph Debugging. Does rrdtool report an error?
