      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)
        pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest/cacti.tbz' by URL

          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

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

            This procedure replace all the procedure posted before?

                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.

                      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....
