New install problem

[jwashburn]

I have scoured everywhere to try and locate an answer, but nothing seems to work.

We did a yum install to Fedora 6. When trying to run the install we get the following

You have created a new database, but have not yet imported the 'cacti.sql' file. At the command line, execute the following to continue:


mysql -u cactiuser -p cacti < cacti.sql

This error may also be generated if the cacti database user does not have correct permissions on the cacti database. Please ensure that the cacti database user has the ability to SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, CREATE, ALTER, DROP, INDEX on the cacti database.

Everything seems to point to permissions, but I can getinto mysql and login as the user with no problems.

Any ideas?

Oh yeah here are my settings from php.ini

Code: Select all

session.save_path = '/var/lib/php/session"

I have made sure that the apche user is owner of the session directory

Here are some permissions from the /var/lib directory

Code: Select all

drwxr-xr-x  3 root      root    4096 Nov  2 13:48 php

Code: Select all

drwxr-xr-x  4 root      root    4096 Dec 13 15:08 cacti

Here is the session directory

Code: Select all

drwxrwx--- 2 apache apache 4096 Dec 13 15:28 session

Did you do what the error message said to do?

mysql -u cactiuser -p cacti < cacti.sql

??

Yes, it turns out I needed to edit the db.php file. I was putting the connection information in the config.php file.
