If you are on ubuntu, have you checked out paulgevers signatures as it has links to support for cacti on ubuntu which would be the best way to install it.

If you have performed a manual installation, be sure to check against the Installation and Linux Installation wiki pages.

When you first launch cacti, it should take you to <cacti site>/install/ which does all the pre-checks it needs. As long as you have satisfied these checks, you should be OK.

What you may need is the process monitoring part then. Although that really depends on what you define as monitoring apache/mysql?

Is this on the same host, or a different server?

If you google for this, there are a number of solutions. One such open source solution is:
https://github.com/percona/percona-monitoring-plugins

if you need 1 minute polling instead of 5, try following this afterwards:
https://kovyrin.net/2013/06/26/mysql-pe ... us+Blog%29

Other solutions are:
https://www.pitt-pladdy.com/blog/_20120 ... _via_SNMP/
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=50815

Bare in mind, that most of these will show you how to connect to mysql from the local host. If you are doing it remotely, you need to check the 'localhost' to the IP or hostname of the machine you are connecting from when you create your monitoring users.

The /resource/ folder has three subfolders, script_queries, script_server and snmp_queries.

Whether your XML requires a separate script all depends on the type of data query you build.
