Cacti on pgsql in Laravel

Question

Description

I have a laravel app, that I am trying to integrate that with Cacti : is a complete network graphing solution designed to harness the power of RRDTool's data storage and graphing functionality.

---

Steps

I've downloaded it, and place it in my public/ directory.

Now, when I go to my http://localhost:8888/cacti/

---

I got

First Try

FATAL: Cannot connect to MySQL server on 'localhost'. Please make sure you have specified a valid MySQL database name in 'include/config.php'

---

Then, I opened up 'include/config.php'. Since my goal is to try to connect it to pgsql instead of mysql, so I here is my current settings

$database_type = "pgsql";
$database_default = 'cacti';
$database_hostname = 'localhost';
$database_username = 'postgres';
$database_password = '';
$database_port = '5432';
$database_ssl = false;

As soon as I hit saved, and refresh the page http://localhost:8888/cacti/

Second Try

Now, I got : The localhost page isn’t working :(

---

Database

I've already created a cacti database on my localhost running on port 5432.

Did you create a cacti database in pgsql? – Abigael

Yes, I did. See it here – Albany

@ihue did you check this ? forums.cacti.net/about23300.html – Mawkish

Answer 1

As given in this site, cacti is designed to work with only MySQL.

Cacti is written in PHP and supports MySQL only for storing the RRDTool data.

Though, there is this link to setup the cacti with pgsql .

I wish you or someone can show a nice steps of how to integrate Cacti with psql rather than shot me a link to forum that noone is replying. – Albany

@ihue sorry for that.. but I don't have much knowledege about Cacti.. though I will try implementing and will let u know the results... – Mawkish

Are you on a Mac ? I am. I try the first step according to your link and I could not find all those stats settings on the Postgres.conf and if u can update your implementation- it will be nice. – Albany
