Description claire robinson 2017-08-14 00:20:01 CEST 
See bug 21242

During web based installation the package checks for various write permissions under /usr/share/cacti and fails to find them. The installer suggests chown -R apache:apache for various directories but seemed to need a few.

After chown -R /usr/share/cacti/ it still complains of being unable to write it;s log file but does complete installation.

We can't assign to bugs to QA for the same update.  This update is in Bug 21565.  The fix for this bug may not be correct though now that I think about it.  It shouldn't be writing to /usr/share/cacti.  Why is it trying to do that?  Maybe something needs to be pointing to /var/www/cacti or /etc/cacti or something.

This message is a reminder that Mageia 6 is end of life.

Mageia stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 6. At that time this bug will be closed as OLD (EOL).

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version prior to Mageia 6's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we cannot 
be able to fix it before Mageia 6 was end of life.
If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
