Hi Catalin,

Thanx so much for the manual. I had to reinstall using the manual and I could now view my graph.

Cheers,

Dear Christiana,

I would recommend using below how-to for Cacti.

Hi Peter,

I did a fresh install of cacti from the port.

I have confirmed that the cron is working. The error as shown in the mail to root is pasted below:

 Subject: Cron <root at yaba> cacti /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/share/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1
X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh>
X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/root>
X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin>
X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=root>
X-Cron-Env: <USER=root>

cacti: not found

I tried to adduser cacti on the freebsd machine but it complained that the login name cacti exit.

What can I do?

Cheers,
