Add this “rocommunity public” without quotes in snmpd.conf. This is just a quick and dirty way but its best if you read through http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/tutorial/tutorial-4/demon/snmpd.html.

I found the solution for this.
Adding this line on the top of rocommunity public in the snmpd.conf file will resolve the problem.

I already have a cacti installed on a debian enviroment working fine.

Now with Centos 5.3 under Apache 2.x with dependencies ok (cacti installed via rpmforge) cacti works BUT don’t generates any RRD graph ? What’s going on ?

I’ve algo installed the sources of cacti into a new vhost by myself with the same results, there are some problems related to safe mode = on. But they’re solved or it seems to be solved since a don’t see any erros at this point:

Still unable to get rrd data created and view default localhost graphs.

Any ideas ? Thanks in advance.

Note if you are using PHP 5.3, to generate the graphs you will need to edit some of the files or turn off all errors to suppress warnings about deprecated functions.
