Cacti Debian Install

[heckler40]

Another little tidbit. On my home test machine, I did install php5 and uninstall php4. I then tried to login into cacti and got the same error message in my second post. It was only when I reinstalled php4 and uninstalled php5 that I got it to work.

Code: Select all

It was only when I reinstalled php4

php4 was installed...and this didn't work. It was solved by installing php5, uninstalling php4, installing php4 and uninstalling php5.

This is what this thread is about. Am I missing something???

actually, the message that you should install php4 is correct

I have the php4 package installed, you don't..
probably that's the package that does the configuration?

[heckler40]

I'm confused now. You have more packages installed but that means I didn't have php4 installed???

[trattos]

Reset your Debian's config and use this how to step per step.

[wwolkers]

what I mean is... there is a package called php4.

you don't have that installed.
apt-get install php43
should fix that for you.

It probably won't contain much, but should do the trick. haven't looked at the package actually. Might even be a virtual package, in which case it'll only depend on all the packages you need to have a working php4 installation

[heckler40]

I'm not sure what's in the package, but if you look above a couple posts I still don't have "php4" and it is working after I did the install, uninstall, install, uninstall thingy.

As suggested earlier in the thread, edit /etc/php4/cli/php.ini and uncomment this line: ";extension=mysql.so". Do this by removing the semi-colon, so that the line just reads "extension=mysql.so". After this, it should work. (I'm not sure if the same thing needs to be done for /etc/php4/apache/php.ini or /etc/php4/apache2/php.ini, but it probably wouldn't hurt.)

FYI I found this problem with Ubuntu as well.


apt-get remove php5-mysql

Then

apt-get install php5-mysql


That fixed the problem.
