Just a small note to say that php-pear-Net-SMTP did not install on a fresh CentOS 6.2 box before I added the community repo listed above.

Either way, thank you for posting!

Try editing the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/cacti.conf.

Edit the line “allow from”

Hope it helps.

Hello Forum,

I am trying to install cacti package on Red Hat Ent 6 server. I am getting following error when I initiate command:
[code]
@hawk shylock_1]# yum install cacti
Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, subscription-manager
Updating Red Hat repositories.
Setting up Install Process

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
[/code]
I did try with –skip-broken option with yum but all avail.
I noticed RRDtool does not exists for RH el6 server.
Any one knew what score for the installation this package? Please.
Thank you,
shy

Hi Guys,

I am using CentOS 5.6 installed with Apache and an open source CiviCRM application. The database is installed on another server for load sharing.

1) How do i install Cacti on the first server which already has Apache + PHP + Perl etc.. without disturbing the existing setup.

2) Can i do remote monitoring? In the sense, can i monitor another server through the network.

Thanks a ton
Avinash

did you follow this

You need to update allow from line. Either set to ALL or your LAN subnet to allow access to cacti:

#
# Cacti: An rrd based graphing tool
#
Alias /cacti /usr/share/cacti

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 10.0.0.0/8

then restart apache?

Seun d

Kind of a late response but;

Your issue is an Apache permissions issue. chown / chmod the files in /usr/share/cacti/
