ui_msg "\n **** To complete the Cacti installation ****

To complete the Cacti installation follow the steps below. Read the documentation
at http://www.cacti.net/documentation.php for operational instructions.


1) Install PHP and MySQL 5 (not covered). These instructions assume MySQL 5 was
installed from MacPorts.

Check to make sure the PHP variable \"mysql.default_socket\" is set to path
${prefix}/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock by viewing the output of this terminal command:
php -i

If not, locate the php.ini file for your version of PHP and type the path there.


2) Set Cacti permissions.
sudo chown -R : ${prefix}/share/${name}/


3) Setup MySQL and prepare it for Cacti.
Configure MySQL (new MySQL installs)
sudo -u mysql ${prefix}/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql_install_db

Start MySQL:
sudo ${prefix}/share/mysql5/mysql/mysql.server start

Set MySQL to start at system boot (optional)
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist

Set a root MySQL password.
Follow the instructions that were given after you executed 'mysql_install_db' above.

Create a cacti MySQL user and cacti database.
mysql5 -u root -p (login with new root password when prompted)
mysql> grant CREATE,INSERT,SELECT,DELETE,UPDATE on cacti.* to cacti localhost;
mysql> grant CREATE,INSERT,SELECT,DELETE,UPDATE on cacti.* to cacti;
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR cacti localhost = OLD_PASSWORD('');
mysql> create database cacti;
mysql> exit;

Import the cacti database.
sudo cat ${cactidir}/cacti.sql | mysql5 -u root -p cacti (cacti is the db name)

Verify the Cacti Database.
mysql5 -u root -p
mysql> use cacti;
mysql> show tables;
mysql> exit;


4) Edit ${cactidir}/include/config.php to match your MySQL information.

\$database_type = \"mysql\";
\$database_default = \"cacti\";
\$database_hostname = \"localhost\";
\$database_username = \"cacti\";
\$database_password = \"\";


5) Place a symlink for Cacti inside your Apache document root.

ln -s ${cactidir} /cacti


6) Edit the Cacti user's crontab file.
sudo -u crontab -e

Insert the crontab entry below:
*/5 * * * * ${prefix}/bin/php ${cactidir}/poller.php > /dev/null 2>&1


8) If you installed Cacti with the 'plugins' variant for Cacti Plugin Architecture support,
you must perform these additional steps.

a) Import the PA schema.
cd ${cactidir}
sudo cat ${cactidir}/pa.sql | mysql5 -u root -p cacti (cacti is the db name)

b) Download the particular Cacti plugin(s) you want and copy their folders to ${cactidir}/plugins//.
For example:
${cactidir}/plugins/weathermap/

c) Edit ${cactidir}/include/global.php - modify the url_path to reflect Cacti's default URL
and add an entry to load each plugin you install; the weathermap plugin is an example:

\$config\['url_path'\] = '/cacti/';

\$plugins = array();
\$plugins[] = 'weathermap';

d) Enable the plugin in the Cacti web interface; this creates a top-level tab for the plugin in the Cacti interface
Console -> User Management (select a Cacti user and check the 'View Weathermaps' checkboxes)


7) Go to http://localhost/cacti/install/index.php.
The default user/password is admin/admin. Select 'New Install', enter
the paths for SNMP / RRDtool / PHP (see below), and click 'Finish'.
You may now use Cacti at http://localhost/cacti/index.php.

Paths:
snmpwalk binary path: /usr/bin/snmpwalk
snmpget binary path: /usr/bin/snmpget

RRDtool binary path: ${prefix}/bin/rrdtool
PHP binary path: ${prefix}/bin/php (if not using MacPorts PHP, use appropriate path)

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/cacti
%  sudo port install cacti  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching cacti
--->  Verifying checksum for cacti
--->  Extracting cacti
--->  Configuring cacti
--->  Building cacti with target all

--->  Staging cacti into destroot

--->  Installing cacti

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using cacti with these commands:

%  man cacti
%  apropos cacti
%  which cacti
%  locate cacti
