Realtime, extra Folder?

[Voiper99]

Hi all, I am a little new to the whole plug in world, so please forgive me if this is a silly question.

I have read the documentation and it says "You need to also create a folder somewhere on your system that is accessible to the apache user for writing. This folder should be different than other transient folders used by plugins as it will be periodically pruned by this plugin."

Does the folder need to have a specific name? Or be in a specific location? Otherwise how does the plugin know where to put the data in to?

Thanks everyone.

It's in the Settings - you create the folder, and tell the plugin where it is. It doesn't need to be anywhere in particular, I don't think, as long as the permissions are right.

Thanks for the quick reply Howie.

You were right. I was able to fix the issue with the help of your post and this link: http://forums.cacti.net/about26662-0.html
