hi.. cited @TheWitness in cacti main repo it sais:

The MikroTik problem is a web server configuration issue, but we'll fix it to work around that configuration issue.

that means, without network connection will not install? there's a way to fix manually that? please?

@vegnuli, you likely don't have 'read' access to include/auth.php, and that error would not prevent the install. I've reviewed the code and it's correct. So, there is some other issue you are having. This is a red herring. Plus, that error would not take place unless you navigated to the mikrotik plugin, which does not happen during the install.

Additionally, the 500 error indicates that there is some problem on the backend. You should be able to setup php's error_log and direct it to a file. From there, you will be able to see the errors. If you set that path to something like /tmp/php_errors.log, then due to the way systemd works, you will find a /tmp directory under something like /tmp/systemd*http/tmp. I have not used nginx, so I'm not certain the service name. If it's httpd, then the above example would be correct.

No feedback.

Some things people have to find out for themselves. Sometimes dev's don't listen cause it's a hobby and not their problem. Either way, time keeps ticking by.
