+In order for Cacti to function properly, please edit the following files:
+
+/etc/cacti/db.php
+/etc/httpd/conf.d/cacti.conf
+
+If you do not plan to use systemd to run the cacti poller, also edit:
+
+/etc/cron.d/cacti
+
+Important:
+We recommend that you turnoff SELinux with setenforce 0 during the installation of cacti.
+
+The installation procedure, briefly summarized:
+
+1) Create the cacti MySQL database:
+
+   # mysqladmin -u root -p create cacti
+
+2) Import the default cacti database:
+
+   # mysql -u root -p cacti < /usr/share/doc/cacti/cacti.sql
+
+3) Create the cacti database user:
+
+   # mysql -u root -p
+   mysql> GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO cactiuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'cactiuser';
+   mysql> flush privileges;
+
+   (Use a different password in the above GRANT command.)
+  
+4) Import mysql_tzinfo_to_sql to MySQL
+
+   # mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql -u root -p mysql
+  
+5) Set SELECT permission for cactiuser to mysql.time_zone_name
+
+   # mysql -u root -p
+   mysql> use mysql;
+   mysql> GRANT SELECT ON mysql.time_zone_name TO cactiuser@localhost;
+   mysql> flush privileges;
+
+6) Enable the systemd service unit for the cactid poller (if not using
+   the crontab file in /etc/cron.d/cacti):
+
+   # systemctl enable --now cactid.service
+
+7) Then visit http://localhost/cacti/ to complete the installation.
+
+Cacti's install procedure is not fully compatible with mod_security. If you use
+mod_security, please uncomment the SecRuleRemoveById lines in
+/etc/http/conf.d/cacti.conf.
+
+Cacti should work with SELinux. If you cannot get it to work, please file a bug.
