so if you go to https://servername/cacti do you get the cacti login page?

[Mntsnow]

if I try going to https://servername/cacti   I redirected to  https://servername/cacti/install   and it states

Error

You have created a new database, but have not yet imported the 'cacti.sql' file. At the command line, execute the following to continue:

mysql -u root -p cacti_sme < cacti.sql

This error may also be generated if the cacti database user does not have correct permissions on the cacti database. Please ensure that the cacti database user has the ability to SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, CREATE, ALTER, DROP, INDEX on the cacti database.

If I type the command  "mysql -u root -p cacti_sme < cacti.sql" in ssh it says " -bash: cacti.sql: No such file or directory"

ok I finally realized I wasnt logged into Mysql and once there I ran the command mysql -u root -p cacti_sme < cacti.sql  which created the database named "cacti" which I can see in phpmyadmin but it has no tables nor did it create any other users..and when going back and trying the https://servername/cacti   I still get redirected to the install page and it says the same thing as before??

I got it working!!!!

What I had to do is log in ssh copy both of the sql files I will mention below to a place I could ftp them from so I could then manually import both the cacti.sql  and cacti_sme.sql files into the databases "cacti" and the other database I had to manually create "cacti_sme" and then imported the cacti.sql into the db called cacti and then imported the cacti_sme.sql file into the database called cacti_sme so that they had their tables and information populated.
Then tried going to the https://servername/cacti  page and it worked

The files as you probably figured out that I had to download so I could import them manually were
cacti.sql
cacti_sme.sql
These were both found in the /opt/cacti/ directory

could this be updated to the latest 0.8.7b?

Can this be added with all updated configurations to the Wiki?
