I have an Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 LTS server setup using http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts

I followed this how to on installing cacti and encountered only minimal installation issues.

 for the crontab edit /etc/crontab with your favorite editor but make sure that you point the task to the proper file location like:

*/5 * * * * php /var/www/(webuser/web)/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1

SNMPD Issue for Ubuntu

Apparently by default the snmpd daemon will only listen to requests coming from 127.0.0.1, regardless of what you tell the config.

modify "/etc/default/snmpd"

so that the line

SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux -p /var/ru/snmpd.pid 127.0.0.1'

reads

SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid'

 reference link below

http://docs.cacti.net/?q=node/434

 

also once installed go to settings and poller tab and make adjustments. once the poller performs a query the rrd's will be written and graphs can be displayed
