Perl and poller.php and cactid

[levy]

Hi.

I'm use:

OpenBSD 3.6
rrdtool-1.0.48
mysql-server-4.0.20
net-snmp-5.1.2
php4-core-4.3.10
php4-mysql-4.3.10

Cacti will work - great )) but ... I running poller.php or cactid (+cactid.conf):


# php poller.php
Can't open perl script "/htdocs/cacti/scripts/linux_memory.pl": No such file or directory.
Use -S to search $PATH for it.

Apache is chroot'ed in /var/www/

Perl doesn't acces in /var/www ???

I think it has something to do with a chrooted environment and what paths are available to the web server. If I remember correctly "/" is the web root in a chrooted web environment. This essentially breaks Cacti (I think). There are others out there who should be able to help.

You're right ehhhhhh chroot

I got it to work in chroot. You need to copy the binaries, libraries, and files that cacti uses into the /var/www directory. I ended up turning off chroot in apache because I am running other things on this web server. It was turning into a pain tracking down all the files I needed to copy for my scripts. Chroot is much easier to work with when using more static web content.

It's your choice to turn off chroot. I don't necessarily need it in my environment since it's an internal server that is fairly protected in other ways. In this situation I picked ease of use over security. If you want to do the same, edit /etc/rc.conf to look like this:

Code: Select all

--snip--
httpd_flags="-u"
--snip--

apachectl restart to apply changes.
