Package: cacti
Version: 0.8.6c-7sarge3

It seems as if cacti doesn't work out of the box in PHP safe mode. While this is
not that bad, cacti doesn't really tell one that this is actually a problem.
What I saw was only that no data was collected and when I looked further I found
that /usr/share/cacti/site/poller.php is supposed to collect the data. Its
cronfile /etc/cron.d/cacti suppresses any output so I did not saw any problem.
After running /usr/share/cacti/site/poller.php by hand it said:
sh: line 1: /php: No such file or directory
sh: line 1: /rrdtool: No such file or directory

and waited forever. Not terribly informative when it should actually complain
about safemode. I searched the web, found a few people who had the same error
but no solution was presented.

Somehow I came to turning off safemode and everything was fine ever since.

What I'd like to see is just a better error handling for the case where people
have safemode activated.
