Installing CACTI Under Unix |
1. Extract the distribution tarball.
shell> tar xzvf cacti-version.tar.gz
2. Create the MySQL database:
shell> mysqladmin --user=root create cacti
3. Import the default cacti database:
shell> mysql cacti <> mysql --user=root mysql mysql> GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO cactiuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'somepassword'; mysql> flush privileges;
5. Edit include/config.php and specify the MySQL user, password and database for your Cacti configuration.
$database_default = "cacti"; $database_hostname = "localhost"; $database_username = "cactiuser"; $database_password = "cacti";
6. Set the appropriate permissions on cacti's directories for graph/log generation. You should execute these commands from inside cacti's directory to change the permissions.
shell> chown -R cactiuser rra/ log/
(Enter a valid username for cactiuser, this user will also be used in the next step for data gathering.)
7. Add a line to your /etc/crontab file similar to:
*/5 * * * * cactiuser php /var/www/html/cacti/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1
Replace cactiuser with the valid user specified in the previous step.
Replace /var/www/html/cacti/ with your full Cacti path.
8. Point your web browser to:
http://your-server/cacti/
Log in the with a username/password of admin. You will be required to change this password immediately. Make sure to fill in all of the path variables carefully and correctly on the following screen. |
