install problems

[Luser]

What am i doing wrong.

Slackware 8.1a
PHP 4.2.1
MySQL 3.23.49
Apache 1.3.20
rrdtool 4.2.3
Cacti 0.6.8

I do not get to the login screen. I tried doing this.

Code: Select all

update version set cacti="0.6.8"; 

It got me to the login screen but I just get a looping login in screen when using admin/admin. it's not rejecting the pass. I tried this and I got in, but got errors and I could not do anything other than browse around and no graphs worked.

Code: Select all

update settings set value="" where name="global_auth"; 

I get this from the command line when executing the following command logged in as the apache user.

NOTE: test.php which contains <?phpinfo()?>; works fine.

Code: Select all

php cmd.php

Can't open perl script "/scripts/users.pl": No such file or directory
sh: /log/rrd.log: No such file or directory
sh: create: command not found
sh: /log/rrd.log: No such file or directory
update: unrecognized option `--template'

Lots more errors about the scripts

I also made sure following was true in php.ini.

Code: Select all

session.use_cookies = 1
session.save_path = /tmp
session.cookie_path = / 

TIA

Sounds like you may be having some sort of path problem. In cacti's 'settings' table check the following things:

Make sure 'path_webroot' is set to the full path to your web server root. It is '/var/www/html' on a lot of systems by default.

Make sure 'path_webcacti' is set to cacti's relative path inside the web root. This value will almost always be: '/cacti'.

See if that helps.
