Favicon.ico for Cacti Installations

streaker69 · Post by **streaker69** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 9:44 am

Just to make your installation a little more custom I converted the Cacti cactus from the main cacti website into a favicon.ico and figured out what needed to be done to have cacti serve it up. I'm not exactly sure if all the steps below are actually needed since I'm not really that well versed in *nix, but it's what I had to do to make it work under the CactiEZ installation.

Step 1: Download and unzip the Attached favicon.zip file and put the favicon.ico in the root of your cacti installation. For me that's: /var/www/html

Step 2: chown -R apache:apache favicon.ico

Step 3: chmod 644 favicon.ico

Step 4: Edit your httpd.conf file with this line: AddType image/x-icon .ico

Step 5: Edit the top_header.php and the top_graph_header.php right below the <head> tag with the following line:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

This is now working for me under all my plugins, except for Mactrack, I don't know why that one isn't working.

Step 3 is not needed.... And not suggest making anything executable that does not need to be executable.

I was following instructions from another site on how to make this work. They suggested it.

Maybe you can help out. I edited my original post because I found that the top_header.php wasn't working across all the tabs, only the console. Can you think of what needs to be done to make it work across all the tabs?

I would change step 3 to "chmod 644 favicon.ico".

Also, you need to edit top_header.php and top_graph_header.php.

I did it to both, and I started to get errors.

Code: Select all

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/html/include/top_graph_header.php:2) in /var/www/html/include/top_graph_header.php on line 56

Plus, it then only works when you're on the console tab. Any other tabs, the icon goes away. So there must be something else that needs to be done.

I think I've resolved most of the issues. Revised instructions posted in the original post.

If you're using MacTrack, you'll need to edit the top_mactrack_header.php file located in /plugins/macktrack/include right below the <head> tag with this line:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

Hello.

I just performed some minor art to add transparency to the cacti icon borders. Tested under Apache on MS, IIS on MS and Apache on Ubuntu linux, works ok for me using Firefox or IExplorer browsers.

I suggest you to also add the line to the "auth_login.php" file in the main cacti directory (always inside the <head> section).

P.S. My icon is named "cacti.ico" so rename in to "favicon.ico" if preferred. Favicon.ico is a generic name for the "main icon" of a web site, so using it may make unnecessary to edit the auth_login.php file.

Regards,
Bernardo.

Nice work! Are you knowing probably how to create and install a transparent favicon.ico?
