rrd:s not created ?

Post by Nexus_man »

I found the Simplest way to fo from script to graph, but when i go to the graph management and try to add a graph item cacti says this:


RRDTool Says:
ERROR: opening '/var/www/progma/rra/random_number_2_11.rrd': No such file or directory

When i create the file by hand it doesnt give any problems, i think this is happening because cacti doesnt have rights to create this file.

Ps. when creating data source, after i have clicked save, cacti says save succesful. When viewing the newly created data source with debug (turn on data source debug) it doesnt give any errors.

I think you are right! if you are on linux, change the permisions of the folder that you installed cacti in, and all recursive subfolders.

chown -R cactiuser:cactigroup /var/www/cacti/install/path

Where cactiuser is the user that cacti's cron script runs as. Same for the group.
