I am trying to set up a test system with Cacti and have run into a PHP issue. I have Apache2, PHP4, MySQL, and PHPMyAdmin installed and working. I have verified that PHP works by using a php test page. The issue I have run into is when I first launch cacti it tells me it can find the PHP binary in /usr/bin. I have done a search through my whole system and I cannot find the PHP binary. Where could this be? And guess even more important how can PHP work without the binary?
If I try to run php poller.php from command line I get bash: php: command not found. I have never seen this and I am not sure how to fix it.
TIA
PHP Not found

What distro are you using?
Is there a package for php-CLI?

Well if it's missing, then you would need to install it...

Check dselect for a missing package names something like "php-cli" or "php-commandline".
I don't personally recall what it is, or even if it exists.

First try looking in /usr/local/bin this is where Debian is most likely to place the php executable.
If the file is not there, do a
dpkg -c "debian install file for php4"
Typically the deb files from an apt-get are kept in /var/cache/apt/archives .
This will list the contents of the debian file and you'll know exactly where it placed all it's files.

I found part of my answer...
When I did the install I installed everything EXCEPT cacti from Apt-get. Cacti I installed from the tar since it is a newer version then what I can get through Apt-get. Doing it this way I must have some how missed a critical package for php4.
I created a new virtual machine and did EVERYTHING through Apt-get and the php binary is right where it should be. So now I need to figure out what was missing and remember to install it next time.
I did try installing php4-cli but that didn't do the trick so I will have to do more digging to see what Cacti through Apt-get adds that I don't get with just the tar.
