Invalid paths in flowview/service/flow-capture and flowview/service/flowview-capture.service

[gcrumb]

Describe the bug
Function get_cacti_base() at line 113 includes this list of base directories:

$cacti_bases = array(
	'/var/www/html/cacti',
	'/usr/local/share/cacti',
	'/usr/share/cacti',
	'/var/www/html',
	'/opt/cacti'
);

The second entry is incorrect in Cacti v 1.2.27 as packaged in Debian Trixie. The actual path is:

	'/usr/local/share/cacti/site',

A second issue, which made diagnosis harder, is that /var/log/cacti/poller.log is owned by root, but the flowview-capture service runs as the website user (changed to www-data in this installation).

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install Cacti from Debian packages on debian Trixie
2. Pull Flowview from git
3. Install and configure the flowview-capture service:
4. Update the flowview-capture.service paths to the correct script location.
5. Update the flowview-capture.service user to 'www-data'
6. Add and configure a new listener
7. Listener shows status 'Down'.

Expected behavior
Correct Debian path should be included in the array of potential paths.

Sorry I don't have a devel environment set up. I'm not (currently) a software dev. Just trying to get a local device working.

@gcrumb, check the update flow-capture service and let us know if it's better after you follow the remainder of the install process now.

Thanks! I'm in the middle of testing right now, but I'll do a reinstall/reconfig once this round is complete.
