Cacti 0.8.8a / CentOS 6.4 / ERROR: opening '/usr/share/cacti/rra/*.rrd': No such file or directory
I've just installed Cacti 0.8.8a from EPEL repo of CentOS 6.4. Everything is fine except the graphs do not show up. I checked the log of httpd then I see:
ERROR: opening '/usr/share/cacti/rra/localhost_mem_buffers_3.rrd': No such file or directory
ERROR: opening '/usr/share/cacti/rra/localhost_proc_7.rrd': No such file or directory
ERROR: opening '/usr/share/cacti/rra/localhost_users_6.rrd': No such file or directory
ERROR: opening '/usr/share/cacti/rra/localhost_load_1min_5.rrd': No such file or directory
Seems like rrdtool did not generate those files.
This is in /usr/share/cacti

I also changed the owner of rra folder to cacti user like this:

What should I do next? Thanks a lot!
Answer
What worked for me was to go into System Utilities (bottom of console) and click on Rebuild Poller Cache.
