======================================================================= 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 requered) # echo "GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO cactiuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'cactiuser'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" | mysql 3. Import the default cacti database: # mysql cacti < /usr/local/share/cacti/cacti.sql 4. Edit /usr/local/share/cacti/include/config.php. 5. Add a line to your /etc/crontab file similar to: */5 * * * * cacti /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/share/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1 6. Add alias in apache config for the cacti dir: Alias /cacti "/usr/local/share/cacti/" 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. =======================================================================
