Are you starting the poller with 'poller.php' rather than 'cmd.php'?

Hi raX,

I use cmd.php - didn't know how to use poller.cmd

With PHP 4 and Cacti 0.8.5.a it was possible to run cmd.php within the web browser but now I get following error:

#!/usr/bin/php -q
This script is only meant to run at the command line.

Pumpi,

We have locked down the cmd.php to prevent execution from the Web Server. If you run from the command line, all should be Ok. Also, as stated by raX, you should run poller.php in Cacti 0.8.6.

Pumpi,

Keep us posted in your testing. Please insure that you use poller.php. Otherwise your graphs will not update.

Hi TheWitness,

you mean that i should use in the task sheduler poller.php instead of cmd.php ?

I'll check this out.

Thanks for help.

P.s. should I use php5 or better php4 ?

Correct. If you are using Windoz, schedule "c:\php\php.exe <path_cacti>\poller.php".

Pumpi,

I am successfully using PHP5 in Windows. However, If so, you need to point Cacti to c:\php\php-win.exe instead of c:\php\php.exe. Otherwise the poller doesn't work quite right. Haven't figured it out yet.

Goto "Settings->Paths" and change the php path as noted above. You can still schedule with c:\php\php.exe if you wish.

TheWitness,

I can't find php-win.exe.

I can't select in Cacti GUI poller.php as poller, only cmd.php and cactid are available as options.

php-win.exe is not integrated into XAMPP packages.

I'll add it manually and check the functions again.

Thanks again

Confusing paths:

ERROR: opening 'C:\apachefriends\xampp\htdocs\cacti/rra/cacti_test_users_8.rrd': No such file or directory

Is the mix of slash and backslash normal ?

Also get this error (Interface Traffic with total bandwith):

Pumpi,

The path information does not matter. However, I am more concerned about the missing file. Is the file actually missing?

Pumpi,

If you are running PHP5 you need worry about php-win.exe. If you are running PHP4, you do not.

1. Whic file do you mean ?

2. What about ther erros in rrd.php ?

3. Do I need to enable the poller in Cacti GUI when i use task scheduler with php-win.exe poller.php ?

4. Still no files in C:\apachefriends\xampp\htdocs\cacti\rra

5. Here are my logs

TheWitness · Posted: Wed Jul 28, 2004 5:05 am Post subject:

1). RRD file. I believe that you answered that
2). Need to see your Logfile in it's entirity. Change logging level to Debug and run Poller.php 1 time. Send the output to this thread.
3). Yes. And per my prior note php-win.exe is only required for PHP5, otherwise php.exe
4). See note 2.
5). Not what I was looking for. Although, if you are getting this information from the User Interface, it may be providing a clue. Please clarify how these logs were generated.
6). Ok. Please see note 2.

Questions:

a). When did you get the last alpha build?
b). Is this a new install, or an upgrade?
