Simply export the database then - it contains all the information you need to regenerate the rrd files, and Cacti will regenerate the missing rrd files on the new box.

Ensure that you sync your resource and scripts directories and you should be good to go.

I did this (see moving cactis post from 13.1).

But the RRDs are not recreated in my case.

rra is drwxrwxrwx also log.

Log looks fine.
No Errors.

Any idea?

Have you rebuilt the poller cache?

Yes and No.

I replaced the path with the path I want and uploaded the mysql-dump.

The problem is that if I rebuild the poller_cache the cactis lib/utility.php
replaces my path with the $cacti_base/rra path...

Its not my idea of fun touching php-code so I placed a link.
This is even simpler....

I guess witness should do something about the path handling in cacti.
Actuelly I have to grep -R oldpath, replace the path in 2 cacti configfiles and every plugin-config, and in the poller_item table and in the settings table...

It would be create to change rra and script-path in the gui or during setup..
