Cacti 0.8.7e on debian 5 / ubuntu install shell script

[nationals]

install debian 5 mini.

Update below.

[Linegod]

No offence, but these scripts sound off alarm bells in my head (kinda nice, it blocks out the voices).

There should be no reason to retrieve the cron, etc from a remote server. I can see in your own environment that would be useful, but it opens up the possibility of backdoors being put in.

[nationals]

thanks for your advice.

I will and need to update the script for it.

[nationals]

Update!

sudo sh cacti-0.8.7e.sh

pls must use the password "dbadmin" for mysql root, when promit for the root password of mysql during install the mysql.

or when use any password else, you must change the install script's password for mysql.

spine 0.8.7e for debian 5.0 x64

the default location:

/usr/local/spine

[nationals]

if you don't trust the PA that is been modify and post on this forums,

so,
and I found that, if you install the pa (orig file) first and then patch that 3 patch for cacti, this does not need to modify any file.

[hzlypan]

can the shell run under debian 4.0 ?

[TheWitness]

Spine should go into /usr/sbin IMHO.

[hatiras]

ok, this works ok, but i dont know how to install spine, cacti and p.a is ok.

i was to download spine of this link and install just like this way::

wget http://www.cacti.net/downloads/spine/ca ... .7e.tar.gz
tar xvzf cacti-spine-0.8.7.tar.gz
cd spine-0.8.7
./configure
make

i just do it like i read in the page but in the command "" ./configure "" happened this:
# ./configure
configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh config/config.sub

excuse me but i am some confusee , thanks.
thanks a lot....

[gandalf]

Did you run the bootstrap script?
R.

[hatiras]

yes gandalf, i put "" ./bootstrap "", but the output is:

MonitorSrv:/usr/src/cacti-spine-0.8.7e# ./bootstrap
FATAL: Unable to locate dos2unix utility

i think that maybe i need to install something in this case.

[Linegod]

Install the 'dos2unix' package. This gets rid of Windows return characters (damn you Larry...).

With those Windows return characters present, you get the 'cannot run /bin/sh config/config.sub' error.

So in short, install 'dos2unix', rerun bootstrap, then do ./configure.

[hatiras]

thnks linegod, i have a problem, i try to install dos2unix but my debian distro dont permit connect to internet with synaptics, i change mirrors servers but any one permit the download of synaptics, i search on the internet and some pages says, is a problem with the mirrors servers of debian, i´m fried LoL, excuse me for this topic out of place, is just an explanion for my problem with the installation of spine...

im fried, dont can to use the command ./install, make for any app. , and synaptics dont permit connect with his servers..

[Linegod]

Find an ftp mirror, download the dos2unix deb, install from the command line.

Beyond that, I can't help. I avoid Debian based distros like the plague.

Hey, you got to cut down on that Strongbow or invite me to the great white north so I can enjoy some too. My SVN client config removes all that crap now. Windows is a curse.
