how to install cacti

Install Lighttpd and lang/php5 !

enable mysql or use different server

echo "mysql_enable=\"YES\"" >> /etc/rc.conf

portinstall cacti

1. Create the MySQL database: mysqladmin create dbcacti

2. Create a mysql user/password for cacti:

• (change user and/or password if requered)

echo "GRANT ALL ON dbcacti.* TO cactiuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'cactiuser'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" | mysql echo "GRANT ALL ON dbcacti.* TO cactiuser@192.168.0.13 IDENTIFIED BY 'cactiuser'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;" | mysql

3. Import the default cacti database: mysql -u cactiuser -p dbcacti < /usr/local/share/cacti/cacti.sql mysql -u cactiuser -p -h curion.ion.lu dbcacti < /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 * * * * /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/" alias.url = ( "/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.

If you are using PLUGIN option set, in file /usr/local/share/cacti/include/config.php change the follow line

$config["url_path"] = '/';

with location where your cacti is available. E.g.:

$config["url_path"] = '/cacti/';

if your URL is http://yoursite.com/cacti
