Cacti Install Issues...

[megahosters]

Hello all, I have been trying for two days now to install cacti with only marginal sucess.

I have the GUI interface all installed and working just fine. When I look at the default server (localhost) it says:

Localhost (127.0.0.1)
SNMP Information
SNMP error

I can not create graphs at all, they are just Xed out images.

I do not have net-snmp installed but I do I have ucd-snmp-4.2.5 installed (or so it would seem) I tried to install net-snmp and I got this error:

[root@web downloads]# rpm -ivh net-snmp-5.0.9-4.rh73.i386.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
file /etc/rc.d/init.d/snmpd from install of net-snmp-5.0.9-4.rh73 conflicts with file from package ucd-snmp-4.2.5-8.73.1

The list is very log I will spare you the scroll...

Anyway here are some system stats and what not to perhaps aid in my help here:

As well when I run poller.php from the command line I get this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function:  mysql_connect() in /home/local/home/www/mydomain.com/cacti/lib/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 339
[root@web cacti]#

Not sure what more to tell you.... I think the main thing is the SNMP error...

If it is the SNMP causing all this what is the best course of action? Remove the ucd-snmp and then install net-snmp?

I know I can remove the ucd version by using "rpm -evv ucd-snmp" the install the "net-snmp-5.0.9-4.rh73.i386.rpm" and "net-snmp-devel-5.0.9-4.rh73.i386.rpm" I downloaded from rpmfind.net.

I dunno, I am no expert in all this but I would really like to get Cacti working on my servers. If you need anymore info please let me know and I will post it.

Thanks,

Clint

Hi,

-Install net-snmp-utils-5.0.9-4 (this will provide snmpwalk and snmpget )
- Install php-mysql- (this will provide snmp modue , you will see it at the bottom of php -m)
- Uninstall the ucd-snmp- packages, and keep net-snmp

Hope this helps,

I ran through that pb also

Also, you have to configure snmpd before it will work. If I remember correctly, you should find the configuration file in /etc/snmp/.

Read the man page on snmpd.conf as well.
