You're right, there is something funky about your cacti setup.

What versions of everything you running?
Did you follow the installation instructions to the T ?

I change the poller uptime detection to only SNMP, since it seems your PIX doesnt respont to pings. Also added interface stats.

Not sure what's up with your graphs either... I start to see half of the picture, then it disappears.

i am using :

- windows 2000 sp4 iis 5 lastest patch
- net-snmp-5.2.1-1.
- mysql-5.0.7-beta
- php-5.0.4 (php info here : http://home.vauloup.net/phpinfo.php) but make no modif in php.ini
- cacti-0.8.6f
- cactid-0.8.6e
- rddtool : from cactid dont know version

for install make some change :
- change some path but all are less than 8 character
- change the poller.php call method run : have a service with srvany who call a batch (put a howto soon just need modify bach a little)

1) Running cacti more often than every 5 minutes, will create some problems. Whats wrong with running a scheduled task for cacti? It will run regardless if a user is logged on or not.

2) "to the T" is just an American phrase. Basically, did you follow all the instructions?

a)i run at e service for different reasons

- i hate the windows default cron ;-) at work we use nncron light : http://www.nncron.ru/
more easy to deploy when you have 100 windows server , youy install you put a file cron.tab in directory you stop/start service and it working. and the cron.def can be backup .

- have some other cron work our server, backup metabase , zip iis log etc
and for job who work all the time we prefer run as a service : if we need to stop ,have no effect on other batch

-i work for an isp and graph are very very important for our client
and at this time we use mrtg. the good think with cacti is data are in a mysql base. if i deploy it , i try to put the base in an mysql cluster , and install cacti on 2 servers , the second check if the service respond on the first server he start his cacti service.

b)
for my pb i think is not due to the "core" of cacti , i suppose is a stupid bug like something change with te lastest version of php, if is not a common problem i make debug myself ,more easy that open an ftp etc.. , and put the result after .



for the graph
have see it , i suppose is due to the same probleme that the logging , if i make an export it's work :

saveus,

1) Your server seems quite busy
2) You need to increase your PHP timeout to about 300 seconds in php.ini
3) You need to set a system environment variable RRD_DEFAULT_FONT in order for Export to work correctly.
4) Would need RDP session to determine the source of 1)

BSOD,

There is major route flapping going on in the par.net.tiscali.net network causing reachability problems from the US.

Well, then you have a lot of code to change.....

Header should work, there is either an issue with php or your browser.

Well, it's got to be Php, because it works for everyone else. Trust me, if it was an issue, we would have more people reporting a problem.

Are you using apache or IIS? Try using apache, BSOD has used IIS, maybe you have some insight?

Focus on PHP, that's the issue here, not the cacti code.

Sorry I don't have more insight into your problem.

I'm using IIS 6 so stuff might be a little different.

1) Which instructions did you follow to set up PHP in IIS?
2) Which php file did you use initially? (i.e. php.ini-dist, php.ini-recommended, etc)
3) Did you configure php in the web service extention section in IIS?
