Hi I have some problems with cacti on suse 10.1 Procedure: 1. installed cacti with yast. (it was h version not lates i ) 2. I created new database and import cacti.sql in it. I checked what files was installed: Code: krneki:/usr/share/cacti # ll total 800 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5892 2006-05-02 11:16 about.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4773 2006-05-02 11:16 auth_changepassword.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6189 2006-05-02 11:16 auth_login.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 170643 2006-05-02 11:16 cacti.sql -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13108 2006-05-02 11:16 cdef.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16569 2006-05-02 11:16 cmd.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5917 2006-05-02 11:16 color.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2753 2006-05-02 11:16 copy_cacti_user.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17536 2006-05-02 11:16 data_input.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28164 2006-05-02 11:16 data_queries.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 43802 2006-05-02 11:16 data_sources.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 30344 2006-05-02 11:16 data_templates.php drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2006-11-23 10:28 docs -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6110 2006-05-02 11:16 gprint_presets.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3423 2006-05-02 11:16 graph_image.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10497 2006-05-02 11:16 graph.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6319 2006-05-02 11:16 graph_settings.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11945 2006-05-02 11:16 graphs_items.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 30752 2006-05-02 11:16 graphs_new.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 46835 2006-05-02 11:16 graphs.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10097 2006-05-02 11:16 graph_templates_inputs.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17367 2006-05-02 11:16 graph_templates_items.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22578 2006-05-02 11:16 graph_templates.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23122 2006-05-02 11:16 graph_view.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33450 2006-05-02 11:16 host.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14236 2006-05-02 11:16 host_templates.php drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-11-23 10:28 images drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2006-11-23 10:34 include -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2271 2006-05-02 11:16 index.php drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-11-23 10:28 install drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2006-11-23 10:28 lib -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1796 2006-05-02 11:16 logout.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4673 2006-05-02 11:16 poller_commands.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2325 2006-05-02 11:16 poller_export.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9441 2006-05-02 11:16 poller.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4343 2006-05-02 11:16 poller_reindex_hosts.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4170 2006-05-02 11:16 rebuild_poller_cache.php drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2006-11-23 10:28 resource -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6622 2006-05-02 11:16 rra.php drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-11-23 10:28 scripts -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6760 2006-05-02 11:16 script_server.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4833 2006-05-02 11:16 settings.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6813 2006-05-02 11:16 templates_export.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5954 2006-05-02 11:16 templates_import.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17463 2006-05-02 11:16 tree.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27829 2006-05-02 11:16 user_admin.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11406 2006-05-02 11:16 utilities.php Code: krneki:/usr/share/doc/packages # cd cacti/ krneki:/usr/share/doc/packages/cacti # ll total 76 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 45679 2006-01-04 04:08 CHANGELOG -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3810 2006-01-04 04:08 CONTRIB -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15141 2006-01-04 04:08 LICENSE -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4521 2006-01-04 04:08 README krneki:/usr/share/doc/packages/cacti # Code: krneki:/usr/share/doc/packages/cacti # cd /var/lib/cacti/ krneki:/var/lib/cacti # ll total 336 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 141488 2006-11-23 11:35 localhost_load_1min_5.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 47840 2006-11-23 11:35 localhost_mem_buffers_3.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 47840 2006-11-23 11:35 localhost_mem_swap_4.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 47840 2006-11-23 11:35 localhost_proc_7.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 47840 2006-11-23 11:35 localhost_users_6.rrd Code: krneki:/var/lib/cacti # cd /var/log/cacti/ krneki:/var/log/cacti # ll total 4 -rwxrwxrwx 1 webmaster root 584 2006-11-23 11:35 cacti.log krneki:/var/log/cacti # Code: krneki:/var/log/cacti # cd /etc/logrotate.d/ krneki:/etc/logrotate.d # ll total 40 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1097 2006-07-27 15:40 apache2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 57 2006-05-02 11:16 cacti -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1056 2006-09-14 01:26 mysql -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 229 2006-08-26 02:10 net-snmp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 187 2006-06-29 20:01 ntp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 129 2006-05-02 10:34 scpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1113 2006-04-23 03:57 syslog -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 551 2006-04-23 05:34 syslog-ng -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134 2006-04-23 03:43 wtmp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 135 2006-09-14 18:07 zmd-backend krneki:/etc/logrotate.d # Code: krneki:/etc/cron.d # ll total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 79 2006-11-23 13:13 cacti krneki:/etc/cron.d # 3.

I modifed config.php with database settings. (in :/usr/share/cacti ) 5. I copied :/usr/share/cacti to /srv/www/web4/web/cacti ( web 4 is on domain i would like access to cacti ... http://www.mydomain.com/cacti ) 6. I runed install and selected those dropdowns for rrdtools, corrected php path etc.. 7.I exec command: Code: php5 /srv/www/web4/web/cacti/poller.php Received this error: Code: PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/extensions/wddx.so' - /usr/lib/php5/extensions/wddx.so: undefined symbol: xml_utf8_encode in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/extensions/wddx.so' - /usr/lib/php5/extensions/wddx.so: undefined symbol: xml_utf8_encode in Unknown on line 0 OK u:0.00 s:0.01 r:0.00 OK u:0.00 s:0.01 r:0.00 OK u:0.00 s:0.01 r:0.00 OK u:0.00 s:0.01 r:0.00 OK u:0.00 s:0.01 r:0.00 11/23/2006 01:19:32 PM - SYSTEM STATS: Time:1.0268 Method:cmd.php Processes:1 Threads:N/A Hosts:3 HostsPerProcess:3 DataSources:5 RRDsProcessed:5 8. I logged at cacti and changed password. When i checked graphs i dont see them ... the graph picture are missing. I also could not clear cacti log file ... so I chmod 777 cacti.log ( lol I) Then i started to read: http://www.howtoforge.com/cacti_ispconfig I notice i did not do: sudo chown -R www-data:www-data rra ( I dont even have this rra folder ) sudo chown -R www-data:www-data logs OK and i guess this is optional ( didnt do that either ) sudo wget http://download.cactiusers.org/downloads/cacti-plugin-arch.gzip sudo tar xvzf cacti-plugin-arch.tar.gz
Explanation: sudo chown -R www-data:www-data rra sudo chown -R www-data:www-data logs With these command you give Apache write permissions to the selected directories. It is more save then chmod 777 for instance. Note: www-data:www-data is for Debian Linux. Replace www-data:www-data with apache:apache for RedHat like systems. (RHEL, CentOS & Fedora). Replace www-data:www-data with www:www for Suse Linux.
