MySQL support and API

See http://www.tizag.com/mysqlTutorial/

Cacti setup

Crontab should be like:

*/1 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/share/cacti/poller.php >/dev/null 2>&1

In file include/config_form.php (default base path is /usr/local/share/cacti)

"rrd_step" => array(
  "friendly_name" => "Step",
  "method" => "textbox",
  "max_length" => "10",
  "size" => "20",
  "default" => "60",
  "description" => "The amount of time in seconds between expected updates.",
  "flags" => ""
)

"default" => "60"

was

"default" => "300"

In file include/config_settings.php (default base path is /usr/local/share/cacti)

"page_refresh" => array(
  "friendly_name" => "Page Refresh",
  "description" => "The number of seconds between automatic page refreshes.",
  "method" => "textbox",
  "default" => "60",
  "max_length" => "10"
)

"default" => "60"

was

"default" => "300"

Horde framework setup

Homepage http://horde.org

In general - when installing Horde or any addons - you simply copy in all files and chown to www user. Then make sure to either install or upgrade mysql from scripts in "scripts/sql".

Kronolith

When installing Kronolith, it can send out reminders - but this requires a crontab to run.

Something like:

*/5 * * * * /www/htdocs/horde/kronolith/scripts/reminders.php

Also - you need to patch it before it actually works. (At writing moment version 2.0.4 is latest stable)

If you're going to use postfix and courier-imap with MySQL authentication, make sure to use "crypt-md5" for password.
