Just for the record, while I'd love to take credit for writing that 
article I was just a recent editor who fixed a change in an sql statement, 
it belongs to someone else who wrote/edited that HOWTO which I too used 
myself to success :)

[CentOS-docs] Request to add to the wiki






I just used Nick Mae's well written HOWTO on setting up Cacti on CentOS 
4.x to setup Cacti on my CentOS 5.1 system :

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Cacti_on_CentOS_4.x

I was hoping to add a page or section for CentOS 5.x with the 
modifications I'm including below.

My wiki.centos.org username is "GeneWood"


Changes :


# Make sure snmpd accepts 'public' as public community from localhost, and 
restart snmpd. You can use the command 'snmpconf -g basic_setup' to 
generate an snmpd.conf file.

# Make sure snmpd accepts 'public' as public community from localhost, and 
restart snmpd. You can use the command 'snmpconf -g basic_setup' to 
generate an snmpd.conf file. The default snmpd installation does not grant 
full read permissions to the "public" community string. Setup a snmp user 
for cacti adding the following lines to /etc/snmp.conf :

com2sec cactiUser      default         cacti
group   cactiGroup v1           cactiUser
group   cactiGroup v2c           cactiUser
view    cactiROView  included   .1
access  cactiGroup ""      any       noauth    exact  cactiROView none 
none




# Give permissions to the cacti user (replace 'user' with the value you 
chose at 9).

mysql>GRANT SELECT , INSERT , UPDATE , DELETE , CREATE , DROP , INDEX , 
LOCK TABLE , ALTER  ON cacti . * TO 'user'@'localhost';

# Some checks need SNMP, so we have to set the community to be used:

Console tab-> Create Devices: -> Localhost -> set SNMP community: public, 
save.

# Some checks need SNMP, so we have to set the community to be used:

Console tab-> Create Devices: -> Localhost -> set SNMP Version : Version 2
Console tab-> Create Devices: -> Localhost -> set SNMP community: public, 
save.
