Re: Cacti can't find the database, wtf?

The issue I faced was with socket file. 
Fix1: configure mysql  
to have socket file as /var/run/mysql/mysqld.sock.
Fix2: Add following to php.ini:
mysql.default_socket=/path/to/mysql.sock 
- restart apache.
Here is my troubleshooting step: http://goo.gl/n5fEqh

Cheers.
