======================================================================= Cacti is now installed. If you intall it for the first time, you may have to follow this steps to make it work correctly: 1. Create the MySQL database: # mysqladmin --user=root create cacti 2. Create a mysql user/password for cacti: (change user and/or password if required) # echo "GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO cactiuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'cactiuser'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" | mysql 3. Import the default cacti database: # mysql cacti < %%PREFIX%%/%%CACTIDIR%%/cacti.sql 4. Edit %%PREFIX%%/%%CACTIDIR%%/include/config.php. 5. Add the line to cron jobs with the command: # crontab -u %%CACTIUSER%% -e */5 * * * * %%LOCALBASE%%/bin/php %%PREFIX%%/%%CACTIDIR%%/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1 6. Add alias in apache config for the cacti dir: Alias /cacti "%%PREFIX%%/%%CACTIDIR%%/" 7. Be sure apache gives an access to the directory ('Allow from' keywords). 8. Open a cacti login page in your web browser and login with admin/admin. If you update cacti, open a login page, an updating process will start automatically. =======================================================================
