No post-install screens in RHEL 6.5 install?

[bbchang]

I'm getting no post-install steps (actually no login page) after going through the steps at http://www.cacti.net/downloads/docs/htm ... _unix.html. What am I missing here? Please read my description of what I've done:

I did a clean install of cacti 0.8.8b, on RHEL 6.5 stock (i.e. what comes on the ISO, no updates). I ran yum to install prerequisites as follows:

Code: Select all

yum -y install httpd php php-mysql mysqld mysql-server net-snmp rrdtool php-cli net-snmp-utils php-pear php-common php-gd php-devel php-mbstring net-snmp-utils php-snmp net-snmp-libs 

and followed the instructions for install at:
http://www.cacti.net/downloads/docs/htm ... _unix.html

with the exception of in /etc/php.ini:

Code: Select all

extension_dir = "/usr/lib64/php/modules"

PHP works:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost conf.d]# php -v
PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Dec  5 2013 07:09:40)
Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies

However, when I go to http://localhost/cacti on the server, I get the generic initial page that I'd get after logging in, i.e. I don't get prompted for a username/password. However, it looks very barebones, and only shows:

Code: Select all

You are now logged into Cacti. You can follow these basic steps to get started.
Create devices for network
Create graphs for your new devices
View your new graphs

And when I click on any of those links, I get HTML pages that show the actual PHP code in the page. In certain sections, it shows buttons, but for the most part, it shows text. It seems to me the browser is interpreting the PHP code as HTML. For instance, /cacti/graphs_new.php yields (only first lines shown):

Code: Select all

0) { $selected_graphs["cg"]{$_POST["cg_g"]}{$_POST["cg_g"]} = true; } }elseif (preg_match('/^sg_(\d+)_([a-f0-9]{32})$/', $var, $matches)) { $selected_graphs["sg"]{$matches[1]}{$_POST{"sgg_" . $matches[1]}}{$matches[2]} = true; } } if (isset($selected_graphs)) { host_new_graphs($_POST["host_id"], $_POST["host_template_id"], $selected_graphs); exit; } header("Location: graphs_new.php?host_id=" . $_POST["host_id"]); } if (isset($_POST["save_component_new_graphs"])) { host_new_graphs_save(); header("Location: graphs_new.php?host_id=" . $_POST["host_id"]); } } /* --------------------- Misc Functions --------------------- */ function draw_edit_form_row($field_array, $field_name, $previous_value) { $field_array["value"] = $previous_value; draw_edit_form( array( "config" => array( "no_form_tag" => true, "force_row_color" => "F5F5F5" ), "fields" => array( $field_name => $field_array ) ) ); } /* ------------------- Data Query Functions ------------------- */ function host_reload_query() { /* ================= input validation ================= */ input_validate_input_number(get_request_var("id")); input_validate_input_number(get_request_var("host_id")); /* ==================================================== */ 

This is my php.conf file that Apache uses:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost conf.d]# cat php.conf
#

# easy for developers to write dynamically generated webpages.
#

<IfModule worker.c>
  LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5-zts.so
</IfModule>

#

#

#
DirectoryIndex index.php

#
# Uncomment the following line to allow PHP to pretty-print .phps
# files as PHP source code:
#
#AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
[root@localhost conf.d]# pwd
/etc/httpd/conf.d

Any thoughts on why it's not giving the expected output, e.g. the post-install steps, in the browser? I tried this in both Chrome and IE 8.

It mostly seems like PHP is not working properly for you. You may create a test php script

Code: Select all

<?php
phpinfo();

and check it via a web browser to ensure that it is working.

I tried that; it returns a blank page in the browser. However, running it from the command line looks fine. Thoughts?

OK, followed the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2173169 and added the lines to /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.ini, restarted httpd and refreshed my browser; works now. Thanks.
