Where is httpd.conf? Cacti 1.0.4

[MissouriSpartan]

I'm trying to install a brand new instance of Cacti 1.0.4 on a fresh Ubuntu Server 16.04 VM. I've been following the directions on the installation guide PDF found in the DOCS folder. However, the problem I'm running into is setting up the Apache Webserver. I've installed Apache2, but there is no httpd.conf file anywhere to configure according to the following part of the guide:

2.4. Configure the Webserver (Apache)
Please find the file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf or equivalent and make the following changes to it:
# Load config files from the config directory "/etc/httpd/conf.d".
Include conf.d/*.conf
Now, please locate the PHP configuration file at /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf
# PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language which attempts to make it
# easy for developers to write dynamically generated webpages.
LoadModule php_module modules/libphp.so
#
# Cause the PHP interpreter to handle files with a .php extension.
AddHandler php-script .php
AddType text/html .php
#
# Add index.php to the list of files that will be served as directory
# indexes.
DirectoryIndex index.php

I've installed PHP 7.0, Apache2, all of the required PHP extensions, and successfully setup the MySQL database. I've also ensured that the php.ini file is configured to enable file uploads and the extensions mentioned in the guide.

Any ideas?

EDIT:

'httpd.conf' doesn't exist anymore according to what I'm finding. When I try to apt-get httpd, it just says that's not a valid package and suggests other web servers like Apache2 instead. Does anyone have any ideas? I'd love to get Cacti 1.0.4 working, but it's still a no-go. Yes, as you can probably tell, I'm a complete n00b with installing this manually. The last Cacti I installed was through apt-get which is NOT 1.0.4, currently, it's 0.8.8h.

Are you sure it's not in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf?

[MissouriSpartan]

Not those specific lines. I did a Ctrl + W in Nano to search for them, but they weren't there.

What is the output of:

dpkg -l |grep php

AND

ls -l /etc/apache2/mods-enabled

[MissouriSpartan]

dpkg -l |grep php

So if you open a browser and point to your new server, do you get the apache "it's working" or Apache default page?

[MissouriSpartan]

No. I get a bit list of raw php code and a page that talks about what Cacti is designed for. But no login screen.

[smiles]

Not to the cacti dir, I mean your root document directory where the index.html is placed.

Rename your index.html to index.orig

Create a new file in that same directory called index.php and put the following in there:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>


Then point your browser to the root directory and see if your base php install is working correctly before adding the cacti install to the mix.

[smiles]

Following an Ubuntu LAMP install HOWTO like:

https://www.unixmen.com/how-to-install- ... ntu-16-04/

Should get your server completely ready for a Cacti install.

You are probably going to want php7.0-cgi and php7.0-curl as well like it states.

[MissouriSpartan]

It's working!!!!!

I set the phpinfo page like you said. It indicated PHP 7 was working. So I rebooted the server, and discovered I was missing a couple of PHP packages.

Now everything's in ship-shape. Thanks for your help!!

[smiles]

Good deal!

Ubuntu doesn't use httpd.conf as standard, instead global configuration stuff for apache is found in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf. You can create a httpd.conf in the apache2 directory, and load any further configuration from it by including the following line in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.

Code: Select all

Include /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

You don't need that file to configure apache, but you can create it if other software relies on it being there.
