Hi all, I'm trying to get Cacti installed on my CentOS 4.3 x86_64 box. I've got all of required packages installed, and created database file, and followed all the instructions in install manual. However, when I get login screen and use admin for username/password, it simply redirects me straight back to login screen. Looking at user_log table, the authentication was successfull (and since it was updated, I know database stuff works OK). If I type username or password wrong, I get messages saying so. If I just use admin as username/password, I get normal login screen with no "wrong password" message.
First, I'd like to thank all the people who replied to my cry for help. Especially Jim Perrin for his SELinux config.
I've finally managed to get things going. The problem was that Cacti hasn't liked settings in my php.ini. The box where I installed it was used many times to test all kinds of software, and php.ini was edited many time in the process.
Seems that for Cacti, mbstring.func_overload must be set to 0 (I had it set to 7), and session.use_cookies to 1 (I had it set for 0). The mbstring.func_overload was responsible for regular expression errors. session.use_cookies was responsible for login loop.
I simply added following to /etc/httpd/conf.d/cacti.conf (from Dag's cacti RPM):
php_flag mbstring.func_overload 0 php_flag session.use_cookies 1 Everything now works fine. Well, at least for now ;-) -- See Ya' later, alligator! http://www.8-P.ca/ _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
