Please run the following command from a shell:
'php -m"

Post the results. You should find a line saying "mysql" btb. No bug, not unstable.

If you're running MySQL 4.1 then you will need to apply the old password trick for user authentication to work with Cacti.
Stop the MySQL service and add the following to Start Parameter field. Start it again once it has been added.

--old-passwords


You will also need to update the cactiuser account with the old password style:

shell> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = OLD_PASSWORD('cactipw') WHERE Host = 'localhost' AND User = 'cactiuser';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Soneedu,

Please edit your php.ini file and make sure the mysql extension is in use:

extension=php_mysql.so

set up a php page that just has php_info() in it, and check for mysql there. The php running via command line isn't neccessarily the same that the web server is running, it is possible to have entirely different versions in the right (wrong) setup.
