Thinking about installing this on my Cacti Server.

Not being much of a Linux guy, can someone give me a quick idea how to insatall using the Webmin service and how to set up the access port?

Thanks

What distrobution of linux is your cacti server running?

Stripped version of CentOS 4

If the system is running cacti then it should have everything needed to run this program as well. Are you familiar enough with the console to work around a bit? Create directories, set permissions, etc?

I am going to assume you know the basics. You will want to log into your system as root on the console then go to your web root directory, which appears to be /var/www or /var/www/html.
( I personally refuse to use anything which is RPM based, due to the headaches of RPM so I do not know exactly where some things are on CentOS. )
Once there use wget to download the file. Do this by typing

wget http://superb-west.dl.sourceforge.net/s … 352.tar.gz


From this point you should be able to follow the directions at: http://www.phpip.net/documentation/chapter-2/

If you need further help let me know.

Having some difficulty with the MySQL access

This page shows the compatability check passing, the setup screen, the error screen and the Webmin console for the MySQL server.

I assume I need to give permissions for PHPIP but where? I have tried adding root as a user but it did not work.

Thanks

Jerry, I don't see a database called "phpip_management", you'll need to create that first and create a login account for it then re-start your phpip management installation.

I just installed phpip on my cacti box. It was pretty simple. I just downloaded the package, extracted the tar to a sub folder of my web root, and opened the page in my browser. It asks a few simple questions, and your done. Now all i need to figure out, is whats the point? I don’t see this application as having any real useful features.
