Hello,

I'm trying to install cacti on my openbsd3.7 box, I have installed mysql-server-4.0.23p1 , also have installed apache, php4 and php4-mysql , rrdtool,net-snmp. But when I enter to http://myhost/cacti , I receive this error :

Cannot connect to MySQL server on 'localhost'. Please make sure you have specified a valid MySQL database name in 'include/config.php'.

I have done this page:

http://www.cacti.net/downloads/docs/htm ... _unix.html

,

here is the nmap results:

open ports:
80 apache
3306 mysql

--

Result of trying plain mysql command:

Error: 1405: Access denied for use root@localhost ( using password: no )

---

Could someone please help me to install cacti ?

Thanks.

Have you added and configured the cacti database in mysql? Have you granted rights to the user that will use that database?

yes I did,

shell> mysql --user=root mysql
mysql> GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO cactiuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'somepassword';
mysql> flush privileges;

I did it same
and configurated .conf file for these settings but nothing changed :-/

okay while installation,

it shows the paths of the binaries. But it didnt recognized php,netsnmp and rrdtool.

but when I type locate rrdtool, it shows as /usr/local/bin/rrdtool, but cacti installation cant recognize it ?

also

while login screen, it wont accept admin/admin as username and password, what might be wrong ?

Ok, what happens when you attempt to login with admin/admin. Do you get any red text?

Confirm that rrdtool is installed in that location, functioning and executable by the web server.

What OS are you running?
What version of the following are installed:
Cacti
NET-SNMP
mySQL
php
apache

Make sure you have sessions installed/enabled for PHP....

Send the link by pm.

sessions seems installed/enabled

Post by **rony** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 2:37 pm

Ok, sessions are enabled, please double check the permissions on your /tmp directory.

FYI, stop PM'ing me, post info here, results of the URL's you are sending me.

Okay

What about /tmp?
How its gotta be ?

Post by **rony** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 2:51 pm

chmod 777 /tmp

That should do it.
