"http://localhost/cacti" ... doesn't show anythin

dalluc · Post by **dalluc** » Tue Oct 13, 2009 8:50 am

Hi people...
I am installing "Cacti 0.8.7e" on "Kubuntu 9.04".
I've followed all the steps that the manual suggests, but when, in the end, I try to load http://localhost/cacti from my web Browser, I can't see anything (anyway, on the bottom of my web browser I can read "page loaded")!!
Do you have any suggestions?

is it just completely white? no html loaded if you try and check html source? have you loaded the sql database and verified the username password and sql user is correct in the config.php?

dalluc · Post by **dalluc** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 4:17 am

Yes... when I load http://localhost/cacti the web server returns me a white page.
Yes, I have loaded the sql database and in config.php I made the following changes:

$database_type = "mysql";
$database_default = "cacti";
$database_hostname = "localhost";
$database_username = "root";
$database_password = " password that root@localhost uses for enter the mysql terminal";
$database_port = "3306";

NOTE: Apache runs a white page if I try to load http://localhost/cacti/index.php , but if I load http://localhost/cacti/poller.php it returns a page where in the top there is written "This script is only meant to run at the command line."!!
Why Apache does't show me the html code that is written in the index.php file?

I have done another test...

I obtain a white page only if I am not already in localhost. For example, staying on www.google.com , if I load http://localhost/cacti/index.php I obtain a white page... but if I load the same index.php when I am on http://localost/something the page does't change at all, but howewer, on the bottom of the page I obtain "page loaded".

Guys... I really cannot resolve this problem!! Does someone have any ideas??

dalluc · Post by **dalluc** » Mon Oct 19, 2009 2:56 am

Guys... one question... is it normal that in the file index.php, in the folder cacti, there aren't html and body tags? Anyway.. if I add them in that file, it doesn't change anything...

dalluc · Post by **dalluc** » Tue Oct 20, 2009 3:27 am

Hi there...

Then:
- I have tried to remake all the installation procedure
- I have tried to extract the cacti-0.8.7e.tar.gz directly from the /var/www folder
- I have tried to add the html and body tags to the /var/www/index.php file
- I have followed all the instructions explained on the installation under unix guide of the cacti website

.... but I still have the same problem ...

I have done also another try: I made a test.php file and I located it in the var/www/cacti folder . The result is the same... and... if I make an "ls test.php" from var/www/cacti the system can found it... but if I make the same istruction from /var/www, the system does not see the file!!
So maybe there is a problem of permission?? Then... why I can load correctly http://localhost/cacti/poller.php ?
Does this fact make you thinking about a possible solution to my problem?

The strange thing is that... if I make "locate poller.php" the system locate it in "/var/www/cacti/poller.php" correctly... but if I make "locate "test.php" which is in the same cacti directory... then, the system cannot locate the file... no answer!!

Mainly... if I make a "locate index.php" I obtain in the result list also the "/var/www/cacti/index.php" file ... but if I make a "locate test.php" I do not obtain in the result list the test.php I made in the cacti folder...

Sorry Ive been busy and hadn't had a check to see on this

on the config.php file

you have installed cacti in the root user correct?

have you verified your sql database is loaded and users are able to access it?

try a #mysql -u root -p
(itll prompt for your sql password)

do a mysql>show databases;

itll show you if your cacti database is installed correctly

and now the next command is drawing a blank but you may want to verify your user root has access to the cacti database.

Another thing I am not sure where you installed cacti itself (mines at /var/www/cacti) but make sure your httpd.conf file has the location set up properly to. That being said I guess if your drawing a blank thats fine also.

did you add the cacti folder on php.ini? check the apache and php error logs

dalluc · Post by **dalluc** » Wed Oct 21, 2009 3:51 am

Then:
FOR Hayden
I have done all those steps you have written. I had already done them.

I was thinking about this:
when I installed cacti package on the root user, I had the following message:

" Libphp-adodb is no longer installed in /usr/share/adodb but in /usr/share/php/adodb . Update the php.ini file. Maybe you might also change your web server configuration. "

Now my question is: Which are the changes I should make?

And besides: I can locate some files named libphp-adodb with different extensionsin in the /var/lib/dpkg/info folder, and a folder named libphp-adodb in /usr/share/doc. What should I do ?

For WLM: I need more time. I'll let you know when I'll have checked!

Thanks!!

Then WLM...
viewing the apache2 error.log file I see that it search for dynamic libraries in /etc/php.d directory . This is reasonable, because I added in the php.ini file the following raw :
extension_dir = /etc/php.d because I was following an installation guide. But that folder, does not exist!! What should I do??

But this is strange because, howewer, I can read other php files...

Besides I can read that apache2 cannot reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain namem using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName.

Wat linux/version are you using? I think with most updated versions you can do an apt-get or whatever your syntax is for most of all your installation files.

make sure your repo links are up to date to. Look around for a quick guide on installing them. When you use the most recent it should almost automatically update all your config files for apache, php, mysql that they should be communicating with each other.

I am using Kubuntu 9.04.
I have done apt-get update before to install cacti.
What about the problem related to the php.d folder that I spoke about in my previos post?

hayden · Post by **hayden** » Thu Oct 22, 2009 1:11 pm

When I did the installation I never needed to adjust the files in there.. It should be I believe just the file associations that php is going to use I think the only thing you wanted to make sure is that Apache was using the php location... and even that I think I never even had to adjust it. Infact I didnt when i did the yum install php it installed the apache file/changed the file.

can you copy some of the output data from your apache log?
