I ran into the same issue with FreeBSD. One of the users on the suggested that I add "cd /usr/local/www/data/cacti; " to the crontab statement. It work!

So the whole crontab line would look like.

*/5 * * * * cactiuser cd /usr/local/www/data/cacti; /usr/local/bin/php cmd.php > /dev/null 2>&1

Interestingly, my installation of cacti on my BSD box ran fine for quite a while. Then I upgraded to mod_php4-4.3.0. And it broke.

Works now - after I added the cd... as suggested.
