Hello,
I have some apache questions on opensuse 13.1:

I am trying to use this as a guide but no luck.
http://en.opensuse.org/Cacti

- I have a file /srv/www/cacti/include/config.php with these parameters in it:

$database_type = "mysql";
$database_default = "cacti";
$database_hostname = "localhost";
$database_username = "cactiuser";
$database_password = "cactipasswd";
$database_port = "3306";

# cat /etc/apache2/default-server.conf | grep -i root
DocumentRoot "/srv/www/htdocs"

ll /srv/www/htdocs
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 302 Mar 13 2006 favicon.ico
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 208 Apr 15 05:20 gif
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 45 Jun 12 2007 index.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2356 Sep 28 2013 info2html.css
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26 Apr 4 21:02 robots.txt

Questions:

1. What do I replace index.html with, to call up a mysql/apache application with parameters shown in /srv/www/cacti/include/config.php as shown

$database_type = "mysql";
$database_default = "cacti";
$database_hostname = "localhost";
$database_username = "cactiuser";
$database_password = "cactipasswd";
$database_port = "3306";

2. How do I call up the cacti application I believe it starts with http://127.0.0.1/

3. whats missing in the install guide ? http://en.opensuse.org/Cacti

4. Unsure if the DocumentRoot is set properly.

# httpd2 -S | grep -i root

ServerRoot: "/srv/www"
Main DocumentRoot: "/srv/www/htdocs"

# ll /srv/www/htdocs
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 302 Mar 13 2006 favicon.ico
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 208 Apr 15 05:20 gif
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 45 Jun 12 2007 index.html
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2356 Sep 28 2013 info2html.css
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26 Apr 4 21:02 robots.txt

-not sure if this is needed.
# cat /srv/www/htdocs/index.html
<html><body><h1>It works!</h1></body></html>

Help appreciated.

Are you not able to open this link?
http://127.0.0.1/cacti/install
or
http://localhost/cacti/install
What does it show?

Are you trying to do database connections?
You can use config.php and define your database connection in it.

html files do not create database connections, you need a server side language for it and php can do it for you easily.

To run a web application, you need a web server, a database server (if needed for dynamic applications) - server side and a browser - client side.

I will attach cacti file location listing- its a long list if it is allowed.

Modify the file cacti.conf and comment out “Deny from all” line, then restart Apache.

if you are still facing problem, give the access permission to /usr/share/cacti

Hello,
I did not see a “Deny from all” line.
Which line is it that is being referred to ?

Did you not find the file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/cacti.conf
Here you will get

Code:

Alias /cacti /usr/share/cacti

<Directory /usr/share/cacti/>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</Directory>

Change it into

<Directory /usr/share/cacti/>
AllowOverride None
Options FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory> [/CODE]

If you are still facing the problem. Open the apache configuration file and find

Quote:

<Directory />
Options Indexes
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

This directive should not be deny from all.

If you are still facing the problem
Check

Quote:

ls -l /srv/www/htdocs/

Is the directory has sufficient permission to access

if you are still facing the problem
open file /etc/apache2/default-server.conf
and change text

Quote:

Options None

to

Quote:

Options All

Restart apache.

Whenever you are making changes in configuration files, restart Apache to see the changes.
