Cacti on Ubuntu -

Post by khilari »

I installed Cacti on ubuntu and followed all instructions very carefully from the following link
http://www.cacti.net/downloads/docs/htm ... _unix.html

Now, when i go to http://localhost/cacti, i get the following error

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user: 'cacti@localhost.localdomain' (Using password: YES) in /usr/share/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 338

The above line is repeated several times and the last time in that page is
Cannot connect to MySQL server on 'take3'. Please make sure you have specified a valid MySQL database name in 'include/config.php'.

I have made the changes in that config.php file and have specified databasename, username and other stuff.

When i was installing cacti. It gave me a warning for php include path change.. here is a screenshot

i did edit the php.ini file in all three locations i found
/etc/php5/cli/php.ini
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
/etc/php4/apache2/php.ini"

Here is the change i made
Section : Paths and Directories ;

; UNIX: "/path1:/path2"
;include_path = ".:/usr/share/adodb" from /usr/share/php

I still get the error... Please help if you can.. Thanks,

p.s. mysql version is 4.0.24_Debian-10ubuntu2-log

i did a test like as instructed by this page
http://www.phplivesupport.com/documenta ... d=35&pid=1

got the following error, so i believe the whole problem is the include path. I have changed it in three locations mentioned in my first post... where else can i make that change?

Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0
Warning: Unknown: Failed opening '/var/www/testdb.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in Unknown on line 0

p.s. check the screenshot from my first post
