Invalid rrdtool command line getting invoked

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm getting these errors when poller.php runs:

I'm using rrdtool-1.2.15 with mysql-cacti-templates-1.0.0, PHP
5.2.0-8+etch11, and cacti-0.8.7b.  What arguments does {{{rrdupdate}}} lack?

This is almost certainly a general Cacti issue, please seek a resolution in the 
Cacti
forums instead.  Thanks.  Please close this issue if you solve it in the forums;
otherwise post another note to it if you find this is an issue with the 
templates.

Every post in the forums that speaks to this kind of issue requires the script 
author
to debug it.

Can you tell me if you've used the templates successfully with a fully patched 
Cacti
0.8.7b so that I can figure out how to proceed?

I have not used the templates on that version.  But when I've seen this before, 
it
was usually because I did something after creating them graphs.  For example, 
while I
was creating the templates, I'd create some graphs for one device, tweak the
templates and create graphs for another device.  Then I'd go back to look at the
first device and it would be broken at that point.

I can try to install this on a newer Cacti version and see what happens, but it 
will
be a little while before I can get to it.

OK, if I remove the graphs and re-run poller.php, I get

So it looks like ss_get_mysql_stats.php isn't generating the error directly, 
even
though there's one of those errors for each mysql data source.

I've just installed the template & script on a fresh CentOS 5.1 installation 
with
Cacti 0.8.7b from the rpmforge repositories, and it worked OK.

Thank you.  I appreciate you double-checking.  Unfortunately, I haven't gotten 
anywhere.

The problem is that --template expects an argument, but the update command 
above is
not providing it.  The man page for rrdupdate tells me it's supposed to be a 
data
source template name, which are all populated, FWICT, in the admin.  All of the
localhost system-related rrdtool invocations get a "proc" data template, so I 
don't
think it's an issue of rrdtool version mismatch.

I tried reimporting the templates, walking through 
http://docs.cacti.net/node/283
(suggested in the cacti-users archives), and redoing basically everything from a
basic install in the manual.  I get the same result every time -- rrds filled 
with
NaN from creation, but unable to update.

FWIW, from the thread in issue 16, I ran ss_get_mysql_stats.php from the command
line, and it returns data with no errors.

I wish I knew what to tell you, but I can't think of anything to suggest.  I 
can't
reproduce the problem; it must be triggered by something in your setup.

Can't reproduce.
