Hello All, This topic is for anyone that have some questions, suggestions or comments about the How To: Cacti On An ISPConfig Server Within 10 Easy Steps - http://www.howtoforge.com/cacti_ispconfig. Thanks, Vinicius
Something is wrong! Hello, I use tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/cacti_ispconfig On ISPConfig I created a Site CACTI, in OPTIONS I ADDED a Database with database name: web1_db1 and user: web1_u1, then I download Cacti package and Installed and I had a problem in Step 4: Step 4 - Setup the Cacti database: Create the MySQL database (If you prefer, you can use the PHPMyAdmin): sudo mysqladmin --user=root Import the default cacti database: sudo mysql web1_db1 < cacti.sql and it is the response: noc@manager:/var/www/web1/web$ sudo mysqladmin --user=web1_u1 mysqladmin Ver 8.41 Distrib 5.0.24a, for pc-linux-gnu on i486 Copyright (C) 2000 MySQL AB & MySQL Finland AB & TCX DataKonsult AB This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Does your MySQL database have a username and password? have a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/faq/6_4_en.html
Install on Centos5 Hope I am in the right spot to post questions on the HowTo.... I installed Cacti following the tutorial with the following differences; Centos5 install as per howto. 1. Installed the repo/yum version of Cacti without downloading the version as described. 2. Copied the contents of Cacti under /var/www to the web folder. 3. Created a sub-domain (co-domain) for xzy.com to give cati.xyz.com. 4. Made permissions for the web folder install (cacti folder) the same as the user. I followed all the other install directives with db/config/ etc. The problem I have is the cacti.xzy.com url returns a 403 error. i have a webmail.xyz.com co-domain and it is fine. I have set up Cacti the same way. Permissions are the same. To test, I have a simple html page and even with a direct request I get the same error. I am a little bit lost as to repair this issue. Thanks.
Thanks for the help.. The /etc/httpd/log/error.log contains this running from when I tried to configure Cacti; [Tue Jun 19 21:53:31 2007] [error] an unknown filter was not added: PHP [Tue Jun 19 21:53:31 2007] [error] an unknown filter was not added: PHP [Tue Jun 19 21:53:41 2007] [error] an unknown filter was not added: PHP [Tue Jun 19 21:53:41 2007] [error] an unknown filter was not added: PHP This runs on the same 10 second interval fom Sunday.... Perhaps related to.... Rather than Centos syntax? The code ls -la /var/www gives user names and sites with permissions and the only cacti related entry is; drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 Jun 17 21:57 cacti I would have posted the lot but I am a forum nube and couldn't work how to get the code box?!!!

Thanks Falco, that repaired the recurring entry in the log. I have seen the Cacti howto on Centos4 on this Site. Am I better to use the package manager to remove Cacti and undo the manual modifications and try that method. OR..... Not too proud to admit defeat when it is a production server. I have a mind to replicate the server with another box as a backup and I can use that as the test bed for the Cati install. Should, from the poor description of what I have tried, be worried about any other items left by my attempt. I have already removed the inputted line from /etc/crontab. Can I thankyou and all involved in this Site for all the help that you give and the great package that Ispconfig is. I had a failing server with another Panel installed and I found this one awesome. I am sleeping at night now..hahaha.

When I create a new graph in cacti on debug mode the last line of rrdtool's commands comes with an extra slash "\" that's the reason why when cacti tries to search rdd file, it doesnt find it. If i run the same comands without this "\" from CLI, the file is created and cacti shows me the graph. #rrdtool create \ /opt/lampp/htdocs/cacti/rra/test.rrd \ -s 300 \ DS:escritorio:GAUGE:600:-10:60 \ DS:exterior:GAUGE:600:-10:60 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:600 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:6:700 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:24:775 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:797 \ RRA:MIN:0.5:1:600 \ RRA:MIN:0.5:6:700 \ RRA:MIN:0.5:24:775 \ RRA:MIN:0.5:288:797 \ RRA:MAX:0.5:1:600 \ RRA:MAX:0.5:6:700 \ RRA:MAX:0.5:24:775 \ RRA:MAX:0.5:288:797 \ this is extra slash that don't let to create .rrd file I dont want to create this file manually forever now the question is : how can i remove this slash from cacti ? The second questions is how can I check if my poller.php is working? 'cause i run poller from cli and I don't have any answer It only shows me this: [root@localhost cacti]# php poller.php Content-type: text/html X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.9 I think this is the reason why my graph doesn't show me any data thanks again sorry: !!my english is not very good lucky!!
