Having issues getting cacti running on Mac OS 10.4.7

[darthbator]

durrr, that was dumb of me =P thanks for the help. So I got php to compile and it even built the libphp5.so module for apache2 ! But still no php from my phptest file

Code: Select all

<?php

// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();

// Show just the module information.
// phpinfo(8) yields identical results.
phpinfo(INFO_MODULES);

?>

confusion ensues

LOL, don't feel bad.

You probably need to put this in your Apache config file, then restart Apache. Make sure you put each line where it's supposed to go!

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml

[darthbator]

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml

That's what I was missing. Well after a bunch of help from everyone here I m anaged to get php mysql and apache to play together nicely.

So I grabbed the newest version of cacti and tossed that up on my box. I completed the install process as outlined in the cacti documentation.

However I still needed to get rrdtool. Recently my experiance with getting things built out of ports to work has been not so great. So I decided to give compiling from source a shot on rrdtool.

Well after the ./configure rdr was complaining about more dependencies and missing libraries etc then I could shake a stick at. So for the sake of ease I decided I would grab rrdtool from ports.

sudo port install rrdtool

so ports builds out the dependencies on it and builds rrdtool and sticks it in /opt/local/bin/rrdtool

So I go to install cacti and everything is going fine and dandy. Until I hit the screen where it reports the locations of the required binaries. Well of course rrdtool is pointing to the wrong location. So I corrected that to the correct path and continued on with the install.

However once I got it up and running, of course, no graphs. So I ask one more time, anyone care to give me a little help

[darthbator]

graphs just don't seem to be happening for me Of course more mysql issues

10/04/2006 12:25:09 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] ERROR: Cannot connect to MySQL server on 'localhost'. Please make sure you have specified a valid MySQL database name in 'include/config.php'

I went ahead and checked the ./config.php file and found that the section about mysql was correct for my database. When I do a

mysql -u cactiuser -p cacti

using the password in /opt/local/cacti/include/config.php the user is able to view and make changes to the database... But I'm still having issues with cacti's poller being able to access the mysql db and I have no idea why

Bumping this bad boy one more time so that the morning and night crew can take a look at it and possibally provide me with a little help.
