Still working on it
Had to start over again after i managed to mess up all my configfiles.
I'm on Debian and i just apt-get install cacti
looked at the error messages, opened webmin and did the changes that it had problems with and re-ran the apt-get dist-upgrade
That took care of that, expect that i wasn't allowed to view the pages as root or normal user.. *will probably figure out that soon too*
I don't think the readme's that came with the debian package was that hard to understand.. when i found the files that needed editing
There's good info at their pages
