I'm really lost as to how I can use this info and Cacti to create a graph. I know it is supposed to be easy bu...

I just wanted to say Thank YOU!! What a great combination this is! We are going to take full advantage of this combined monitoring power. I already have both Cacti and Nagios installed and running on a single machine. Can anyone point me in the direction of some general instructions for plugging Nag...

I had that problem when the path for the php binary file was wrong in the config.php file. Make sure that config.php is setup properly - including the mysql cacti db name, host name (localhost) login and password. Also try executing: php from the command line and see what happens - report back after...

That was the 2nd password I tried. The first was "password". Everyone always defaults to admin/admin for the first login on everything. Sometimes admin/password.

I had the worst time figuring out how to install Cacti without using the custom compilations that are specified in Lee Carter's Linux Install instructions. While Lee's instructions are quite thorough and do work if followed to the letter,like many other's have found, if you use the custom install co...

Never mind - I soldved the problem(s) 1,) There were syntax errors in the crontab (DOH!!!) 2,) The config.php was not correct. 3.) cactidb in mysql needed access rights added for cactiuser@MSTechServer 4.)

OK Guys - here it is, mysql cannot connect because it's looking in the wrong place for the socket. The mysql.sock is in the /tmp directory. It's look here....
