The RRD directory doesn't actually need to be owned by www-data.
If you want to run observium as a non-root user, chown it to that user.

Not root and not www-data, that's for sure.
Who thought they knew better than the install guide, and managed to break it?
The warnings are there for a reason :)

New to observium and I have it up and running on a new Ubuntu 13.04 install.
Everything seems to be working and polling the one device that I have added.
However….
It seems that none of the graphs are being generated. "Error Drawing Graph" or "Draw Error" where the graphs should be.
I reviewed the e-mail archives for similar issues but nothing seems to fit.
When I run the poller manually I see a few errors related to the RRD directory and it looks like a permissions issue.
./poller.php -h all
Observium v0.13.8.4312
Poller

The CHOWN (chown www-data.www-data graphs rrd )commands have been run per the install documentation and show up as this:

Thank you in advance for any assistance
