Fine, but that doesn't solve my problem either.

The relevant code in poller-wrapper is :

def get_config_data():

config_cmd = ['/usr/bin/env', 'php', '%s/config_to_json.php' % 

ob_install_dir]

try:

    proc = subprocess.Popen(config_cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, 

stdin=subprocess.PIPE)

except:

    print("ERROR: Could not execute: %s" % config_cmd)

    sys.exit(2)

return proc.communicate()[0].decode('utf-8') # decode required in 

python3

try:

config = json.loads(get_config_data())

except:

print("ERROR: Could not load or parse observium configuration, are 

PATHs correct?")

sys.exit(2)

The error is referring to json.loads being unable to parse the output from config_to_json.php.

So either config_to_json.php isn’t outputting the config, or it’s not parseable, perhaps it has PHP errors in it.

Hello,

yes it is a Debian variant. The cronjob is started with root. But this error appears with the path.

Is this on a Debian variant?

It's possible the variant is different in such a way that the script doesn't cater for.

Still, it's likely either permissions, or the PHP interpreter is behaving oddly somehow.

Running the wrapper as the user that executes the from jobs works? (Running it as root for diagnostic purposes is worthless, and will break your installation's file permissions)

I have installed it with the install script on a raspberry pi3.

What is this installed on? Did you follow the install guide or use the install script?

This is likely either permissions or the PHP interpreter not running the config generator.
