Public bug reported: The Cacti web interfaces fails the Cacti install in a default Xenial install with all dependancies installed via apt-get.
PHP7 no longer provides the mysql extension, however Cacti exepects it and Cacti install fails. This can be patched by stopping it from looking for the extension, but there appear to be other errors as well due to incompatibility between Cacti and PHP7. Easily reproduced by installing Cacti on Xenial and observing what happens. http://<servername>/cacti/install/ Error The following PHP extensions are missing: mysql Please install those PHP extensions and retry ** Affects: cacti (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1571432 Title: Cacti package is incompatible with PHP7 on Xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cacti/+bug/1571432/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
