-your /etc/crontab file:
-
- */5 * * * * ${VHOST_SERVER_GID} /usr/bin/php ${MY_INSTALLDIR}/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1

-Note that you should use poller.php as the cronjob instead of cmd.php (as it was with
-earlier versions) to enable you to switch between cmd.php and cactid.
-
-Also make sure that the user poller.php runs as ( ${VHOST_SERVER_GID} ) has
-permission to create new files in Cacti's 'rra/' directory which is
-${MY_INSTALLDIR}/rra
