Install cacti with lamp (1)

Installing cacti with lamp is still relatively simple. Learn it quickly!

Steps:

1. Install net-snmp

 
 

  
  
yum install net-snmp*  
  
  
 
 
 

Note that you need to add * to install all the doon; otherwise, there is no command required by cacti.

2. install php-snmp

 
 

  
  
yum install php-snmp  
  
  
 
 
 

3. Install rrdtool

 
 

  
  
wget [url]ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/atrpms.net/el4-i386/atrpms/stable/rrdtool-1.0.50-25.el4.at.i386.rpm[/url]  
  
  
 
  
  
rpm -ivh rrdtool-1.0.50-25.el4.at.i386.rpm  
  
  
 
 
 

4. Install cacti

 
 

  
  
wget [url]http://www.cacti.net/downloads/cacti-0.8.7e.tar.gz[/url]  
  
  
 
 
 

Decompress the tar.gz file.

 
 

  
  
tar -zxvf cacti-0.8.7e.tar.gz  
  
  
 
 
 

Move the decompressed folder to your/opt/lampp/htdocs directory.

 
 

  
  
mv cacti-0.8.7e /opt/lampp/htdocs/cacti  
  
  
 
 
 

Then configure the Cacti Database

 
 

  
  
#/opt/lampp/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p123456 create cacti  
  
  
 
 
 

Now we must insert the cacti table in the Cacti database:

 
 

  
  
#/opt/lampp/bin/mysql -u root -p123456 cacti < /opt/lampp/htdocs/cacti/cacti.sql  
  
  
 
 
 

Log on to the database

 
 

  
  
#/opt/lampp/bin/mysql -u root -p123456  
  
  
 
 
 

We grant cactiuser all permissions on the cacti database:

 
 

  
  
mysql> grant all on cacti.* to cactiuser@localhost identified by 'cactiuser';
