The Cacti directory structure
Let's look at the default directory structure of Cacti and some of the important subdirectories:
docs
The
docs
directory contains the full Cacti manual in different formats. The manual can be used as a quick reference for the various Cacti topics and also provides information on how to debug some of the more common issues you'll face.
The Cacti manual can be viewed within your browser by going to the following URL (replacing <server>
with your Cacti Server):
http://<server>/<cacti dir>/docs/html/index.html
.
include
The
include
directory contains files such as config.php
and global.php
. As you know, the config.php
file contains the database and Cacti URL settings.
install
The
install
directory contains the installation files as well those needed in order to upgrade a Cacti installation. Once you have set up Cacti, you can safely delete this directory.
log
The
log
directory contains all of the Cacti log files. This is where the cacti.log
file resides...
