Cacti giving me its own index

dragunu · 05-05-2006, 09:52 PM

first of all id like to apologise for my newbie question but i have installed cacti and when i do the http://myserver/cacti im getting the index of the /cacti directory and not the login screen. what might the problem be?

I am running cacti on linux fedora core 3 and i have php4 installed and ofcourse i have a cronjob going on pointing towards the cacti directory.

thanks

It sounds like a PHP problem. Make sure that php4 is either being loaded as an apache module, or is compiled into apache. If PHP is running, you should be able to create a file in /var/www called php.php, with the following in it:

Code:

<HTML>
<?php echo phpinfo(); ?>
</HTML>

If you go to that page, you should get some information about your system, and some php statistics.

I hope this helps

Just go to http://localhost/php.php in your favourite web browser.

Another alternative is to create a directory in your home directory called public_html, and then put php.php in there. You should be able to access it with http://localhost/~yourUserName.

This is what you should see. (NB: I have apache on a non-standard port, but that won't make any difference).
