If you search down to: Complete Cacti Installation via web installer I'm trying to pull up the website link and it's erroring out. I'm thinking the issue Apache config file. When I run the command service httpd restart I get the below error:



So it looks like it's saying it's crapping out on line 58

Code: Select all

# Cacti: An rrd based graphing tool

# For security reasons, the Cacti web interface is accessible only to
# localhost in the default configuration. If you want to allow other clients
# to access your Cacti installation, change the httpd ACLs below.
# For example:
# On httpd 2.4, change "Require host localhost" to "Require all granted".
# On httpd 2.2, change "Allow from localhost" to "Allow from all".

I'm so close to getting this running. I'm not a Linux guy, this has been a real struggle and I just need to get this running. Can anyone assist?

GOT IT! The guy who had wrote the FAQ had me create the firewall rules to open port 80, he said tack it on to the end of the file. Well I'm using Webmin and I was just poking around and looked at the firewall rules. The "Refuse All" rule that's at the end of every firewall rule list, was listed above the allow port 80 rule! EUREKA!! I also put a rule to allow port 3306, don't know if I need it but it's there and I don't want to touch anything that might screw it up.

Also for anyone else who this may help. After I finished the install I got to the user name and password area, I was trying the "cacti" and the "root" user names and it wasn't logging me in! I was really losing it, that I made it this far and I know the password was right. Turns out the default user and password is admin/admin used that and got right in.

So proud of myself, I'm such a Linux noob, and I was trying to hire someone to finish this project. Yes I spent way too much time on this, but I figured it out. Persistence pays!
