Installing Cacti

[lane]

All right...I'm lost.
I am following the installation doc that comes with cacti. I have created all the necessary usernames, databases, and configurations. I've put the distribution in /usr/local/cacti. My apache files are in /usr/local/apache.

My big question is how do I setup my apache web server to see the cacti interface? At step 8, it says point my web browser to http://your-server/cacti/. I never modified my apache configuration, so I don't see how that would work. Should I put the cacti files/directory within my apache directory?

Thanks for any help,

lane

add an alias like this to your apache httpd.conf

Alias /cacti/ /usr/local/cacti/
<Directory "/usr/local/cacti">
Allow from all
</Directory>

and point yourself to http://yourhost/cacti/ and i THINK that's all you really need.

I tried adding the alias as well and couldn't get it to work.....I figured it out though.

My server/application configuration (PHP,MySQL,Apache) I did by hand, which through off the whole thing. So I removed MySQL, and PHP, and Apache......and reinstalled using the RedHat distribution CD.

Went through the setup again and all seems to work fine now.

My problems were my own doing......

Thanks,
