If you have put spine into the same directory as it was installed before, then spine is ready to go. If you changed the destination dir, then you will have to create or modify the spine.

You will be presented with a step-by-step wizard that will guide you through the update process. Login to your Cacti instance and check the version displayed at the top right of the console screen. While Lee's instructions are quite thorough and do work if followed to the letter,like many other's have found, if you use the custom install commands, nothing else you install using Fedora's "yum install" command is compatible with the cacti installation.

This makes installing something like SSL, Sendmail or Postfix in conjunction with cacti a cumbersome task to say the least. As a result of these complications, I set out to find a simple way to install Cacti so that it conforms to the standard Fedora libraries and configuration file requirements. This facilitates simple and easy integration of other services also using "yum install [software] with Cacti as well as simplifying the notoriously convoluted custom installation of Cacti itself.

The benefits of this process are two fold. As previously stated, it simplifies the installation of cacti as well as conforming to standards that enable all types of software to easily integrate and communicate with cacti utilizing the beloved "yum install Next you will find these installation ins ructions.

Please feel free to provide any feedback in the case I may have omitted a step, etc. I am human and I am writing this documentation post a successful install as opposed to during.

This will install everything needed to run Cacti except Cacti itself and net-snmp. If you did install "everything" during the Fedora installation then all of these including SSL will already be installed. As root: yum install cacti Check to see if net-snmp is installed on your system.
