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attempting to install cacti on CentOS 5.3 64 bit, and I checked the wiki, only to find that the instructions are a bit out of date.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?

Kind Regards,
Mr Gabriel

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.

If you have selinux enabled as you should you need to set sebool httpd_can_network_connect_db on.

SE Linux is already configured properly,
/usr/sbin/getsebool httpd_can_network_connect_db returns httpd_can_network_connect_db => on
So now, I'm more confused that before?!
It seems that there is a bug in cacti for centos x64 - version 0.8.7e
I have commented out line 41 in /var/www/cacti/lib/database.php which solves the problem (with the limitation of using the default MySQL port every time)
How can I report this so that others can recreate it. This happened on a production server, so I'm well, pretty pissed off actually! But hopefully sharing this info will help in the future

In case you use the rpmforge package, please report on the rpmforge Mailinglist.

This is the feedback that I got from that RPM command, I do have rpmforge repo added to my system, I'll have to go a check a bit closer now.

Checked about hostname vs socket connection to mysql? http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/can-not-connect-to-server.html

Thank you JD! (But I can't do this all on my own, no I know, I'm no superman!) In case this doesn't make sense, Google the words in brackets
I can connect locally from the CLI to mysql, and I have a number of website using the mysql also running on that system. But thank you for the tips

The cacti packackage from rpmforge works out of the box for me.

That is the package that I used - *sigh* so many projects to work on, and so little time!
