Dear All,
I am attempting to install cacti on CentOS 5.3 64 bit, and I checked
the
wiki, only to find that the instructions are a bit out of date. Have
these
instructions been updated somewhere, or does anyone have updated instructions, maybe with known gotchas etc?
I've had luck with http://linux.com/learn/tutorials/38270-installing-cacti-on-centos-5
Thank you for your response - I went through those instructions, and again, I got the same error as below.
FATAL: Cannot connect to MySQL server on 'localhost'. Please make sure you have specified a valid MySQL database name in 'include/config.php'
The database configuration in config.php is correct, and is readable, because if I change the hostname, the error message changes accordingly. I can connect to the MySQL database just fine with the configuration information that is in config.php. Any ideas would be appreciated - If this become too off topic, someone feel free to say so.
