Can you verify the mysql installation?
Check that there is a mysql server listening on port 3306. I think it is as you're able to login.

After that, the only other time I see a page like that is when the poller hasn't run for that device/datasources, and so theres no .rrd file generated. This is usually taken care of on the next poller run. can you verify that the rrdtool installation is ok, and that the database files are being created?

Hi

you need the PHP Apache module for the Cacti GUI, and the CLI version of PHP for the Cacti poller.

Can you run this in command line :
Code:
$ mysql --user=cactiuser --password=xxxx
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 4043657 to server version: 4.1.20

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql>

Ok so thats a good starting point then. If you open a cli session in the Cacti directory, and run "php poller.php" that should manually run the poller. Lets see the output from that. I would suspend any cron jobs first though, just so you know only one poller is running.

You might also want to switch on debug under the settings of the GUI, so that more info is given.
