If you intall it for the first time,
you may have to follow this steps to make it work correctly:

 1. Create the MySQL database:
 # mysqladmin --user=root create cacti
 2. Create a mysql user/password for cacti:
    (change user and/or password if requered)
 # echo "GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO cactiuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'cactiuser'; F           LUSH PRIVILEGES;" | mysql
 3. Import the default cacti database:
 # mysql cacti < /usr/local/share/cacti/cacti.sql
 4. Edit /usr/local/share/cacti/include/config.php.
 5. Add a line to your /etc/crontab file similar to:
 */5 * * * * cacti /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/share/cacti/poller.php > /dev/nu           ll 2>&1
 6. Add alias in apache config for the cacti dir:
 Alias /cacti "/usr/local/share/cacti/"
 7. Be sure apache gives an access to the directory ('Allow from' keywords).
 8. Open a cacti login page in your web browser and login with admin/admin.

 Add the following line in the end of httpd.conf
 vi /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf
 Include etc/apache/Includes/*.conf 

 vi /usr/local/etc/cacti.conf
 Alias /cacti/ "/usr/local/share/cacti/"
 <Location /cacti>
