No Poller output. Poller doesn't work

Hi All,

I'm trying to install cacti 0.8.7b on a windows XP machine,
I've configured everything, but there's still a problem.

When I try to run php poller.php or php cmd.php at the dos prompt in the right directory, no output is shown, no log entries will show up in cacti.

Someone familiar with this problem ?

Have a look under settings, and ensure that your logging level isn't set to NONE.

Are you able to run poller.php from the command line ?

you can try removing the task which poller runs and re-create it according to the instructions. that had worked for me.

The fact he doesnt get any output / action from manually running poller.php, means something else isnt set up properly/broken.

Did you follow my installation guide?
Search your system for php.ini and delete all copies except for c:\php. Make sure its configured properly per the installation guide. Also make sure the NTFS permissions are set correctly on all the files/folders cacti needs.
