Unofficial, Unsupported Cacti Install Guide

cmb

to be sure that Apache listen to a different port…

This is correct?

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <virtualhost># directive.
#
#Listen 3000
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 10.0.0.7:81</virtualhost>

yeah, that looks fine. not sure why it's blowing up. Does it work with apache stopped?

I want to do some more test to identify the problem….but CACTI is no longher downloadable:

# pkg_add -r cacti
Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest/cacti.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest/cacti.tbz' by URL

Why?

PS: I try to connect with an FTP client, but I can't find CACTI on that server…. :(

I've been building a package set for cacti and will upload soon.

Please note that it builds a custom php! This WILL wipe out pfSense.

So you need to backup /usr/local/bin/php /root/php and restore after pkg_add -r.

Will post a url to pacjkage set shortly when the build is done and copied up.

I tried to back up the file before load cacti, but I can't find /root/php…

And I get always this:

# pkg_add -r cacti
Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest/cacti.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)

From a shell:

Back up file

cp /usr/local/bin/php /root/

Install CACTI

pkg_add -r http://www.pfsense.org/packages/All/cacti-0.8.6h_4.tbz

Restore file

cp /root/php /usr/local/bin/php

This procedure replace all the procedure posted before?

I tried to go ahead…but I can't download MySQL server:

pkg_add -r mysql41-server

I was wondering if that was a possiblity, but doing exactly as I described in that document, my pfsense box is still working several days later. My cacti isn't though. :) PHP is acting like it doesn't have MySQL support, but it should.

I'll start from scratch and try the pkg Scott uploaded later and will update the documentation accordingly.

No news?

This REALLY is not a priority for us. Atleast it isn't for me.

Yes I know that this is not a priority for the pfSense team… No problem...

I ask only why I can't download mySQL serve package....
