Hi Julian, does cacti load ok when browsing from localhost? In other words: does http://localhost/cacti/ work? I'm reluctant to change the default to "Require all granted", because many web apps (eg phpMyAdmin, websvn) ship this way by default for security. Yes it does. Sorry, I completely misread the comment at the top of cacti.conf about httpd 2.4 and assumed it was a syntax error. Now that I see it's by design, you can feel free to close this as NOTABUG. That's quite all right. Do you have any suggestions for how we could better phrase the comments in the configuration file, to perhaps make it easier for users? Sure. I think the header should avoid the mention of "network devices" since that's confusing for people who might think it has something to do with the actual switches, etc. that Cacti will be monitoring. Maybe you could say something like: "For security reasons, the Cacti web interface is accessible only to localhost in the default configuration. If you want to allow other clients to access your Cacti installation..." and then put the information about how to change the config. HTH, Julian Please accept my apologies that I took a while to ship the fix for this. I was finally able to use an appropriate patch for #888207, so I will be pushing a new update (0.8.8a-8) that will fix this bug as well. cacti-0.8.8a-8.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/cacti-0.8.8a-8.fc19 cacti-0.8.8a-8.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/cacti-0.8.8a-8.fc18 cacti-0.8.8a-8.el6 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 6. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/cacti-0.8.8a-8.el6 cacti-0.8.8a-8.el5 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 5. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/cacti-0.8.8a-8.el5 Package cacti-0.8.8a-8.el5: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora EPEL 5 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.
