Gentoo : Running Cacti with LigHTTPD

October 13th, 2009 by Stephane Kattoor

If you use Gentoo and tried to install Cacti with Lighttpd instead of Apache, chances are that you ran into this error message :

/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/WebappConfig/content.py:27: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
  import md5, re, os, os.path
* Fatal error: Your configuration file sets the server type "Apache"
* Fatal error: but the corresponding package does not seem to be installed!
* Fatal error: Please "emerge >=www-servers/apache-1.3" or correct your settings.
* Fatal error(s) - aborting

You can solve that problem by editing the following file : /etc/vhosts/webapp-config and set vhost_server="lighttpd".

For further reference, you’ll also need the following USE flags for PHP :

spaghetti etc # grep php /etc/portage/package.use 
dev-lang/php		cli cgi mysql xml session pcre sockets

The rest of the installation is pretty straight standard and is already well documented (here, there, or even there).
