Blank page - Solved

[jcoulam]

I hope this hasn't been covered yet.

I have a fresh install of RHEL 4, installed: 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp i686 i386 GNU/Linux
-cacti-0.8.6h.tar.gz
-MySQL-server-standard-5.0.24-0.rhel4
-rrdtool-1.0.50-3.el4.rf
-net-snmp-5.1.2-11.EL4.7
-php-4.3.9-3.18
php-ldap-4.3.9-3.18
php-snmp-4.3.9-3.18
php-pear-4.3.9-3.18
php-mysql-4.3.9-3.18

But when I go to http://localhost/cacti with my browser it is a blank page and I get this in /var/log/httpd/error_log:
[client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_pconnect() in /var/www/html/cacti/lib/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 355

Any suggestions?

Hi

did you create the MySQL database for Cacti ?

And please check php.ini's settings for mysql entries (mysql.so)

Hello,
Ok try these 2 things. If you did create your database already in mysql, make sure you check the config.php under /includes. Make sure they are using the correct username and password. If you have created the db and the config file is correct look for the db-settings.php file under /includes as well and make sure it is set up the correct way with the correct username and password.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the replys.

1. I did create the mysql database, and I can login from the command line using the username and password
2. I verified the /include/config.php and it's good
3. I don't have a file called db-settings.php.. Should I?
4. /etc/php.ini - Where in this file should it specify mysql.so? None of my working installs of cacti have that listed. And I do have /usr/lib/php4/mysql.so

If I su - cactiuser and run php poller.php I get:
sh: -: command not found

Then it hangs there and never ends

Any other ideas?

As to MySQL, found in /etc/php.ini

Code: Select all

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Dynamic Extensions ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;
; If you wish to have an extension loaded automatically, use the following
; syntax:
;
;   extension=modulename.extension
;
; For example:
;
;   extension=msql.so
;
; Note that it should be the name of the module only; no directory information
; needs to go here.  Specify the location of the extension with the
; extension_dir directive above.


;;;;
; Note: packaged extension modules are now loaded via the .ini files
; found in the directory /etc/php.d; these are loaded by default.
;;;;

and /etc/php.d/mysql.ini reads

Code: Select all

cat /etc/php.d/mysql.ini
; Enable mysql extension module
extension=mysql.so

I added the mysql.so statement in the php.ini and tried it and no success. I restarted mysql, httpd still nothing, finally rebooted and after reboot it worked!! Thanks for the help.
