Hello,

We've got a new NfSen install on CentOS 5.3, using the following packages:

nfdump-1.6b-snapshot-20090619.tar.gz which was configured with  
"./configure --enable-nfprofile"; and
nfsen-1.3.2.tar.gz

The following changes were made to the config:

$BASEDIR = "/usr/local/nfsen";
$HTMLDIR    = "/var/www/html/nfsen/";
$USER    = "apache";
$WWWUSER  = "apache";
$WWWGROUP = "apache";

A single Cisco router has been set up to send it's flows to the server,  
and the live profile works fine.

The problem appears when additional profiles are added, so far I have done  
most of the testing using continuous / shadow, however I've never had  
graphs generate using other types either.

I've scanned a few other threads which have mentioned permissions, these  
are mine:

Netflow Processing under the Details tab works fine, and I can see the  
various flows which correspond to the specified filter.

Another thread mentioned checking the path of rrdtool and associated files:

[r...@centos nfsen]# which rrdtool
/usr/bin/rrdtool
[r...@centos nfsen]# locate rrd.h
/root/downloads/nfsen-1.3.2/contrib/PortTracker/nftrack_rrd.h
/usr/include/rrd.h
[r...@centos nfsen]# locate librrd
/usr/lib/librrd.a
/usr/lib/librrd.so
/usr/lib/librrd.so.4
/usr/lib/librrd.so.4.0.7
/usr/lib/librrd_th.a
/usr/lib/librrd_th.so
/usr/lib/librrd_th.so.4
/usr/lib/librrd_th.so.4.0.7
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/librrd.pc

Don't see any relevant errors in /var/log/messages either:

I'm not too familiar with how rrdtool/nfsen works, so any help is  
appreciated. Thanks
