Last Week i changed the entrie in the table and it works like charme. hope it will be soon also in i-mscp possible. I also read the two other tickets and will recommend it. a very high prio should the mail quota withhin the all setup quota. and i think the setup of quota should not manage the customer, but rather the reseller.
many thx

Hello MuhKuh,
many thx for pointing me to that ;). Opened for 12 month - not bad. i conclude that only a few guys use the option of limitation ,). ok i will test it. what do you think about the other facts? they are still actual?

No answer until now thats bad. How can i change the quota of dovecot over 2GB? I found a old thread here, but what is actual and why the limit of 2GB?

You are mixing things up. You can use 'php' in the cron directly because it will find the binary.

Ok i know, i do the whole tiime, but in the settings of cacti i must enter the path of it. as far as i understand the cron calls the poll.php which runs futher commands over php to get rrd-data and other thinks. perhaps you give me the line for cron and cacti so i know what you mean with mix things - perhaps we talk about diffent ways actually i got the graph but no data.

edit: ok after searching i changed the crontab to php /cacti/poller.php and have no errors for this, but still no data in graph - will check

Well done - it works. Many thx MuhKuh. Finaly i will check the open_basedir changes i have done and try to change it to default. many thx so far

You could have just used 'php'. No need to give the path.

how do you mean this? i mean the path in cacti which i have to setup. should i only enter php???

i read the php doc for open_basedir and i know of that and i know the differences in i-mscp for the different php.ini. but i have not enough knowledge to know any point of attack o security risk of that.

The cron is from an howto for debian and is for crontab -e of user cacti, which i not have. i dont know how to find / notize or know what php bin is ?! sorry. i see that its an directory with lot of files and pear and so on, but for what ?! while iam still using squeeze i wouldnt use the cacti package and installed from website, which should be no problem.
the cron is:

and your right with dev/null i know that, but thought it would log to syslog but not to bash/screen - ok i have to learn a lot ,) but thats why there are help like this... thx

ok what i should i do - add the open_basedir with /usr/bin/php ok? and ?
[hr]
ok changed as i wrote /usr/bin/php and its ok for cacti thx, but why have i in open_basedir usr/share/php for what and what is the conclusion and disadvantag of doing this?
[hr]
Ok after changing the php path i get this:

Syslog:

Quote

(vuxx) CMD (/usr/share/php /var/www/virtual/domain.de/subdomain/htdocs/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1)
/USR/SBIN/CRON[13259]: (CRON) error (grandchild #13260 failed with exit status 126)

edit:
mainproblem is still the path to php binary, i tried /usr/share/php which is written as open_basedir by default. you wrote /usr/bin/php, should i add this to open_basedir?

I gave you a thx for your constructive answer. i tried www-data and actually vuxxx but without positiv result. have i restart anything after edit crontab? actually i try to debug cacti and found out, that the mem var is set up do 512m for php, what is to much for my server configuration and i changed it. now i will test further.

edit: about permission - in open_basedir is an entry for the php dir and the owner are root, while www is vuxxx but this is no problem or how must i interprete it?

Hi,
now all paths work except for php. The binary lays in /usr/share/php or not?
[hr]
edit: How is the construct of the permission for that. the webuser in which the files of cacti lay are vuxxx and the rights for /usr/share/* are root. if i run from bash as root or as vux the poller.php i get permission denied, but i dont know which user is for what, can someone help?

Hello,
i know the difference between both and i want to log disk size, cpu usage network traffic and so on and therefor cacti is good. but your right if i would monitor downtimes and want to informed i would use icinga.

I got it work for rrdtool. i copy the rrdtool file in /usr/share/rrdtool and add on open_basedir :/usr/share/rrdtool. This works but not for snmpwalk and the other needed one. is this doing correct or would an symlink help as well? ok i see at this moment that symlink is permitted by disable_functions ;I am i right?

thx TheCry

edit: which path have i choose for php? the basedir say /usr/share/php, but cacti say its an dir and i think it expected the binaries, or?
