yes, you need to click the "tick" next to the answer you accept. It signifies to people that you appreciate them taking the time to answer your question. If you have a low acceptance rate people will be less likely to help in future. – Coops Feb 24 '11 at 21:23

Start reading the official documentation for linux/unix here: http://www.cacti.net/downloads/docs/html/install_unix.html and the manuals here: http://www.cacti.net/downloads/docs/html/

For a default Fedora installation, try open your browser at

http://localhost/cacti

and use the login/password that you have choosen during the installation

Follow the official documentation here:http://www.cacti.net/documentation.php

cough RTFM cough to be completely honest if you can't manage to login to cacti, you may have a pretty hard time configuring it. It's very powerful but not really "easy". – Coops Feb 24 '11 at 21:24
