Just test and installing Cacti on Oracle Linux 6.4
Before you go ahead installing cacti on your linux distrubition, there are some requirement to fullfill.
Cacti required :
1. AMP : Apache, Mysql, PHP
2. Some packages : RRDTool, net-snmp
Assumming your AMP is running, and we can go ahead to next steps.
1. Downloding latest cacti
http://www.cacti.net/download_cacti.php
2. Extract it into your http web folder, in linux tipically : /var/www/html
3. prepare database to be used by cacti:
– login mysql and create database and cacti user and grant it with following sql command:
CREATE USER 'cacti'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '***';GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'cacti'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '***' WITH MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR 0 MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 0;CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS `cacti`;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `cacti`.* TO 'cacti'@'localhost';
4. Import default cacti database with cacti.sql
you can get file “cacti.sql” inside your cacti folder that you just extracted.
[root@localhost cacti]# pwd
/var/www/html/cacti
[root@localhost cacti]# ls -l cacti.sql
-rw-r--r-- 1 1000 users 178349 Aug 7 09:31 cacti.sql
[root@localhost cacti]#
[root@localhost cacti]# mysql -u root -p cacti < cacti.sql
5. Open your browser to install cacti. http://localhost/cacti
and follow the instruction.

viola.. installation is done. now you can login with default usernam and password :
