installing cacti on centos 5.3

Post by owens »

Hi,

Can someone help me install cacti on my web server. I followed the instructions on the manual about downloading the files and setting up the mysql login etc.

Could anyone help me over msn?

Thanks

So do this in 'root' or do it in my web hosting account with root privileges?

Do this first!

Do you edit this file?

Configure yum. Since I want to use yum as much as possible, and cacti is not in the default CentOS repositories, I added Dag to my list of repositories. This is as simple as creating the file /etc/yum.repos.d/Dag.repo and putting the following in it:

[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
protect=0

First time, you must

yum update

install gcc gcc-c++ kernel kernel-devel net-snmp net-snmp-utils mysql mysql-server httpd php php-mysql php-snmp rrdtool tcl clamav libtool

When you install cacti or other require (net-snmp, mysql, v.v...) you must login to root of you CentOs

Hi,

Was logged into root, also created that file.

After running the yum command, look above for the outcome.

Any ideas?
