When I go to add a graph, or any other page that *should* have a drop down list of hosts, the list is empty (or has any/none on the lists where that's appropriate). When I go to the "devices" page, they're all listed, though. In addition, when I go to the graph trees list, the base trees are all listed. When I go to edit one of the trees, though, the items list is empty. If I create a new heading, though, the headings show up in the drop down list of available nodes to place the new object underneath. Furthermore, when I go to the tree mode of graph viewing, the tree structure shows up just as I created it. It's uneditable, though, since the tree editing section shows no items for each tree.
This, as one might imagine, is a bit annoying. Cacti itself seems pretty nice, and the monitoring works well. I haven't dug into the PHP at all to see where those things are generated, as this is a relatively large project and it's way easier to ask people who might be familiar with the code already...
The only thing I'm doing a little weird is 1) log files in in /var/log/cacti/, 2) rrd files in /var/lib/cacti/, and 3) using a MysQL 4.1 DB server on a remote host w/ default PHP compiled against MySQL 3.something on SuSE 9.1. As far as I can tell, the logs and rrd file locations should have nothing to do with this, and the DB connection clearly works since the data shows up properly in some places.
So, any hints as to where I should look? I did a cursory search on the boards here, but nothing popped out at me...
