Multiport graph widget does not work with empty data

When adding a port that has no previous data collected (standby port in a HA firewall setup) to a multiport graph widget, the graph is not drawn at all and the RRDtool outputs a message “ERROR: absolute path names not allowed when talking to a remote daemon”.

Generating graphs seems to be working fine when all ports have some traffic. Single port graphs work even without any data, they just draw nothing.

Weird, in my setup the RRDcached was on the same server as the web-server. Using unix-socket instead of tcp-socket in config.php seems to have solved this issue.
