problem with graph generation on FreeBSD

Hello cacti users,

I'm running Cacti on a FreeBSD 4.8 box*, and I can't make it draw 
graph. The content of graphic file is just a 0.
I tried to disable the sending of headers, so that php would display 
warnings and errors, but it did not work.

I don't use php as a CGI, so I run the cmd.php from this crontab :
*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php -f /usr/local/www/data/cacti/cmd.php > 
/dev/null 2>&1

apart from some error due to the BSD system (different from Linux), 
everything looks OK**

Any help greatly appreciated.

MRTG migration procedure.

Hi.

I'm on the MRTG- CACTI migration process.
I think that the best way to migrate MRTg data i sto convert the log 
files to rrd files throught rrdtool.
Now the main problem is that my MRTG log files was generated with 8 
minutes timeframe...

Are there any problems when I restore the XML rrd data file to Cacti..??

Any comments or alternatives ways to to that, will be welcome.

Thanks in advance.

User managment

Greetings.

On CACTI, I have some customers graphs and some internal graphs. 
Customers graphs are on the Customers tree, and the internal graphs are 
on the Internal tree. In resume we have 2 main trees to separate the graphs.
Now , I want that user sales can see only the customers tree and all the 
graphs are owns this customer tree. The other user, operator, can see 
only the graphs under Internal tree.
Is there a way to accomplish this task in a easy way...?
Note that "customers" tree can have more than 600 graphs...

Thanks a lot.

Carlos

Re: MRTG migration procedure.

Hello.

You could always change the time frame that Cacti uses to poll the devices.
I'm not too sure but I think that you can resize the .rrd files.

Question on modifying existing Graph Template

Re: Upgrade

To upgrade from 0.6.8a to 0.8.3a, you must follow this upgrade path:

0.6.8a -> 0.8
0.8 -> 0.8.3a

This should do the trick.

Re: Question on modifying existing Graph Template

I am fairly sure that you are experiencing a known bug. Check out the
following message board post for information about how to fix it:

http://www.raxnet.net/board/viewtopic.php?p=8102#8102

You should be able to fix your graphs by selecting each broken one under
"Graph Management" and re-pointing the inbound and outbound data sources
under the "Graph Item Inputs" box.

Cacti licensing page

I tried sending this e-mail to raxnet but the mailing system is not 
working right now.

The cacti licensing page is not working. It returns a 404 error.

Hope you fix it soon.
