[solved] loop when login with admin/admin

[brochet]

Hello, I have a problem when login with a fresh install :
when i click on "login", the localhost is asked for the query, but i come to the same page again and again but without any identication error

- the log file is empty of any problem
- the SQL database looks to be fine

here are the step i followed :

#mysqladmin --user=root password somepassword
#mysqladmin --user=root --password reload

#mysqladmin --user=root --password=somepassword create cacti
#mysql cacti < cacti.sql --user=root --password=somepassword
#mysql> GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO apache@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'cacti';

#mysql> flush privileges;


[root@Nagios cacti]# chown -R apache rra/ log/


in the etc/crontab I added the following line :

*/5 * * * * apache php /var/www/html/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1

Finaly i made the allias to cacti directory in the httpd.conf :

Alias /cacti/ "/usr/local/cacti/"

<Directory "/usr/local/cacti/">
# SSLRequireSSL
Options None
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
# Order deny,allow
# Deny from all
# Allow from 127.0.0.1
AuthType None
</Directory>

any Idea ?


PS : I make comment in front of sql command in order to prevent from bug on the forum

Did you edit include/config.php and specify the MySQL user, password and database for your Cacti configuration.

Code: Select all

$database_default = "cacti";
$database_hostname = "localhost";
$database_username = "apache";
$database_password = "cacti";

Any apache log info?

Typically this is an issue with PHP session files.

aka search /etc/php.ini for the directory used for session files. Either make it writable for httpd's user or change it to a directory where httpd's user has write permission

here is the matching section of my config.php :

$database_type = "mysql";
$database_default = "cacti";
$database_hostname = "localhost";
$database_username = "apache";
$database_password = "cacti";
$database_port = "3306";


but I don't found the apache.log


then
the path for the session file is /var/lib/php/session
now the directory session can be readable/writable by the user apache

and now it's work fine thanks à lot
