PeerCache RPM installation
PeerCache RPM installation
Prequisites are apache, mysql server and php. Make sure, your system is subscribed to “Enterprise Linux ES (v. 3 for x86) Extras” channel in RedHat network. If those packages are not already installed, install them:
# up2date httpd mysql-server php-mysql
All needed packages are downloaded and installed with this command.
Start the mysql server:
# service mysqld start
You should secure your mysql server now:
# mysqladmin -u root password 'yourpassword'
Insert the line ‘skip-networking’ to section [mysqld] in /etc/my.cnf and restart the mysql server:
# service mysql restart
Copy the peercache rpm files to your server and install them, you will be asked for the mysql root password during peercache-stats installation:
# rpm -Uvh peercache-1.3-1.i386.rpm # rpm -Uvh peercache-stats-1.3-1.i386.rpm
Copy your license file to /home/peercache/license/
Next, start the peercache and restart apache:
# service peercache start # service httpd restart
PeerCache statistics will be available after 5-10 minutes at http://yourip/cacti user ‘peercache’ and password ‘peercache’, cacti user ‘admin and’ password ‘admin’.
The web password can be changed using htpasswd:
# htpasswd -c /home/peercache/auth.users peercache
And that’s it!
