Cacti

In another thread someone referred me to :- https://github.com/Cacti/cacti/issues/3436 I there, there is likely to be an answer for me to the login issue (and hopefully the 42% issue). From there :- "Okay, this is interesting. Are any of you guys copying the config.php.dist to config.php? If so...

So now I appear to be able to create a host and pressing create gets me to a successful message. However, I can't see the host if I go management / devices. I can see the local linux machine that was created at install, but not the hosts that were added??? Would I be right in assuming they should sh...

OK, more fiddling with things, and I think I might have worked around the previous issue, but still not completely there. I tried changing the poller interval to 5 minutes. That still did not work with all the same message. So I changed in back to 60 seconds. I think tried clearing the poller cache,...

Actually, issues not completely resolved. I was able to complete the install. I was also able to signon, and confirmed the automatically added Local Linux Machine was there and polling ok. But my problem came as soon as I went to add a host. When I pressed the "Create" button, it went grey...

Thanks for pointing out that thread. In trawling through that I found what appears to have fixed the problem :- "Okay, this is interesting. Are any of you guys copying the config.php.dist to config.php? If so, comment out the $cacti_cookie_domain line. This was supposed to be commented out, but...

I have tried a new install on a new Centos 8 box, and even that seems to be an issue. So I am suspicious the issue is to do with Cacti 1.2.11. Given upgrade is more complex with more variables, I have started a new post focusing on issue with clear install. Once that issue is addressed, I will revis...

I have tried and brand new install of Cacti on a brand new Centos install to troubleshoot and upgrade I am doing. And even on a pristine install and can't get even a new clean install of Cacti 1.2.11 running. No matter what path I take, everything goes smoothly until I first try to signon to the web...

I am still stuggling to make any progress with Cacti 1.2.11. I have tried all of the following :- 1. Forced a repair_database.php, updated php to 5.6.40 and tried to do an upgrade on the Centos 6.10 box, and I got exactly the same issue. ie 500 error and "PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpect...

Thanks for the reply. On the old centos 6.10 box, PHP version is 5.3.3. So if a higher versions is required, then that might explain that problem. I will see if there is some way of upgrading that without breaking other things on the box and come back to you. Do you think if I follow the proceedure ...

I found the repair_database.php script and there seems to be some issues there. See below :- [root@centos64-svr-64 cli]# php repair_database.php Repairing All Cacti Database Tables Repairing Table -> 'aggregate_graph_templates' Successful Repairing Table -> 'aggregate_graph_templates_graph' Successf...

I have used the following guides to do the above :- For the upgrade steps :- https://www.cacti.net/downloads/docs/html/upgrade.htm for the upgrade steps. For new build :- https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-cacti-on-rhel-centos-8/ and https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-mariadb-dat...

If just try and do the basic install using the process outline at https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-cacti-on-rhel-centos-8/ on a new Centos 8 build, and a new install of cacti and fresh database, I get further, but still does not work. Everything works until I get up to getting the http l...

2. I have tried migrating to a new build Centos 8 box I have built and installing from source. But when I go to sign onto the web intereface I get the following error :- Fatal Error - Cacti Database Not Initialized The Cacti Database has not been initialized. Please initilize it before continuing. A...

I am also have problems putting the full post above here. If I put a big post in with all the detail, I am getting :-

So putting the post on multiple posts....

I am having lots of issue upgrading from Cacti 1.1.19 on CentOS release 6.10 to 1.2.11. The version I am trying to upgrade is a Cacti installed from the repository, and seems to be working ok before I try to upgrade. I have tried to do this 2 different ways :- 1. Install in place on the existing ser...
