First time user, a few issues. [SOLVED]

Post by Skepticalme »

I'm installing Cacti Server v1.2.23 on my NEMS Raspberry Pi

I'm just learning about NEMS and just in the process of installing Cacti

On the Pre-installation Checks page, I have a few issues and I'm wondering how I could resolve them.

Code: Select all

ERROR: Your Cacti database login account does not have access to the MySQL TimeZone database. Please provide the Cacti database account "select" access to the "time_zone_name" table in the "mysql" database, and populate MySQL's TimeZone information before proceeding.
and ...

Any help pointing me in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

Here is installation manual. https://docs.cacti.net/Install-Under-Ce ... mendations

I discovered the install commands for these extensions:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install php-gmp
sudo apt install php-intl
sudo apt install php-ldap
And after a restart, it resolved the issue.

Is there a beginner's guide to using Cacti? I found some videos that are helpful, however.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
