fresh install results in blank page...

[fozzy]

Looks like i got everything installed correctly... but i only get a blank page...

I installed following install directions, mysql is up, php works (phpinfo runs), nothing logged by php, if i access the page i get in the access log a line but data size is -

It's not my first cacti install... but i really can't get what is wrong...

I already searched the forums and found three or four threads but nothing helped.

Running debian 3.1, apaceh2, php4, cacti 0.8.6j (tried 0.8.6i too with the same result)

Any ideas appreciated...

Thank you, Luca

got this fixed...

installed php4-mysql and php4-gd and aded the extensions to both apache2 and cli php.ini files....

possibly worth having some sort of echo to signal such a problem?

i have php error logging enabled and didn't get anything in the log.

Thank you, Luca

I would at least recommend adding php-session and php-snmp,, if nor already installed

added php4-snmp, can't find any debian package in aptitude which resembles php-session...

as above... it might be useful to have a link to the prerequisites in the installation guide mainly if some packages are good for performance or whatever which isn't immediatley visible as missing

Thank you, Luca

Can you explain you to check to see if php4-mysql and php4-gd is installed? Also, how do I add the extensions as you've suggested?

[gandalf]

php -m should show the modules. Running phpinfo() should show more data. Find the config at /etc/php.ini and sometimes more at /etc/php.d/* (at least for RedHat). For me, installing via yum was fine in all cases

How do you add the extensions to apache and php.ini? I believe that's the only step i am missing. I researched php.net to find out how, but i haven't seen worst documentation ever since mysql's docs. Jejejeje.

[fozzy]

in your php.ini look for the Dynamic Extension section

and add

extension=mysql.so
extension=gd.so

This is how i did it on apache under linux (not sure but it should be the same on windows)

JAJAJA, don't worry bringing windows up. I am using linux. Yeah!!!

Thanks for the tip, i'll be doing that now.
