Hi Guys,

I really need Cacti up and running and thought it would be a quick job to install it on a spare Fedora machine we have.

I would be very grateful for a quick answer on this as I need it finished today

Everything has been done, but when I go to the final step.

http://mail1/cacti

It gives the following error. (See Below)
This database does exist

I have checked and double checked my details.
Here are the entries from /var/www/html/cacti/include/config.php

$database_type = "mysql";
$database_default = "cactidb";
$database_hostname = "localhost";
$database_username = "cactiuser";
$database_password = "cactipw";
$database_port = "3306";

Error

You have created a new database, but have not yet imported the 'cacti.sql' file. At the command line, execute the following to continue:

mysql -u cactiuser -p cacti < cacti.sql

This error may also be generated if the cacti database user does not have correct permissions on the cacti database. Please ensure that the cacti database user has the ability to SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, CREATE, ALTER, DROP, INDEX on the cacti database.

Did you run like it says in the error message? And do you g=have sufficient rights on the sql server to run it and to import the file?

Someone helped me in the end.
Turns out I was using /var/www/html/cacti

And some of the scripts were pointing elsewhere.

Cool - thanks for letting us know what the fix was. Are you up and running now?

Yes I am thank you XavierP

Different install guides seem to show different ways of installing it, I went wrong when the RPM install failed and I started looking at alternative guides.
