Cacti Mac 10.10 install

[urzh]

I'm doing a new install of cacti on mac X 10.10. I'm getting "Parse error: parse error in /cacti/include/config.php on line 27" when I try rendering the config page. Line 27 is the database hostname line (using 127.0.0.1). If I change to localhost its the same error. My database and user account are created per below. Settings below.

Versions:
PHP 5.3.29
Apache 2.4.9
MySQL 5.6.22

/* make sure these values refect your actual database/host/user/password */
$database_type = "mysql”;
$database_default = "cacti”;
$database_hostname = “127.0.0.1”;
$database_username = "cactiuser”;
$database_password = "cactiuser”;
$database_port = "3306”;
$database_ssl = false;

The line with the hostname has a different double quote than the other lines. Delete them and re-enter them again.

[urzh]

Wow, good catch. I must have changed that while I was troubleshooting. It's back to the original quote butt he error is still on the same line

/* make sure these values refect your actual database/host/user/password */
$database_type = "mysql”;
$database_default = "cacti”;
$database_hostname = "127.0.0.1”;
$database_username = "cactiuser”;
$database_password = "cactiuser”;
$database_port = "3306”;
$database_ssl = false;

[phalek]

Try using these lines

Code: Select all

/* make sure these values refect your actual database/host/user/password */
$database_type = "mysql";
$database_default = "cacti";
$database_hostname = "127.0.0.1";
$database_username = "cactiuser";
$database_password = "cactiuser";
$database_port = "3306";
$database_ssl = false;

Then afterwards also do a "dos2unix config.php" on the file to get rid of any windows line ending which may be included there

[urzh]

I'm not as familiar with the dos2unix command; however i'm using the lines you pasted. When I render to /include/config.php it's a blank page.

Can you attach the file to the post ?

[urzh]

Thanks for your continued help, attached.

[phalek]

Try the attached file

[urzh]

Using the file, it still renders blank when I point to http://include/config.php

If I render top level, I get FATAL: Cannot connect to MySQL server on 'localhost'. Please make sure you have specified a valid MySQL database name in 'include/config.php'

But the problem is I have 127.0.0.1 in the database hostname in config.php. Leads me to believe it's reading something else now.

[urzh]

Ok, I had to give read/write permissions to the new config file. After I did it's recognizing the sql server hostname as 127.0.0.1 which is how it is defined in the config. And I confirmed I can connect to the 'cacti' DB through sql manager and mysql. I have about 10 other db's hosted on this server that are fine.

Still can't get anywhere though.

"FATAL: Cannot connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1'. Please make sure you have specified a valid MySQL database name in 'include/config.php'"

Hello, any other ideas please?
