Thought I got it right (Win2K/IIS)

[JC]

Shoot!

Oh well. Here's a log of my install:

* fresh install, win2k server, all hotfixes, etc, everything
* system logs clean, good build

* downloaded sources of proggies
* extraced with path, php to c:\php
* modified php.ini per docs, stuck in winnt as c:\winnt\php.ini
* copied php4ts.dll to winnt/system32
* extracted cacti, modified dir name to cacti and placed into c:\inetpub\wwwroot

* opened and extracted rrdtool to c:\rrdtool

* configured iis per specs
* stopped iisadmin
* installed mysql into c:\mysql

* at first failed to start, then had to use domain user account, and even reboot for mysql to get going

*created account, cacti_mysql, ouchouch

* created my.ini in c:\winnt (per install screen mysql instructions) [later removed - seemd to fix problems]

* added c:\php; c:\mysql; c:\mysql\bin c:\rrdtool to environment path


* reinstalled mysql, removed my.ini from c:\winnt
- left service with domain admin account in place
- restarted service, works

* performed db install, etc, per docs exactly

* assigned security for internet anonymous account for log/ and /rra to write

* scheduled job

* started cacti, tried - force.cgi problem notice

* corrected, restarted, cacti works somewhat

*config page comes up, but with errors about MIB files not found at bottom

* config'd 1st page - cacti web root not found, had \ as default, changed to /, everything else found, next

* login (security image above failed to load)

can't login

Try admin/admin - no effect
Tried user@something/pass - nope

And still getting can't find MIB files at bottom.

KEY QUESTIONS:

IIS config is a little weird on the virtual and root directories of the site

c:\inetput\wwwroot\cacti is my actual web dir for the cacti site - wrong?

HELP!

Well,

First there is a directory in the c:\php call mibs. Copy this directory to the location containing either Cacti or Php (I forget). You must call it c:\usr\mibs. This corrects the MIB file errors.

Second, you must give the I_USR_<MACHINE ID> execute privaleges to the C:\PHP and C:\PHP\SAPI directories. You also have to set the Apache web root to C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT. The cacti web root will remain \cacti.

Ian is working on an updated Win32 install page. I hope this helps.

Ok, I'll try that.

?? Call WHAT c:\usr\mibs - do you mean create a DIR called c:\usr\mibs?

Now that Makes sense.

Huh? Where - in what file? I'm running IIS.

Yay! Been growing crazy.

You can set both the "Apache Root" and "Cacti Web Root" by going to "cacti Settings" from within cacti.

Like SoSad said, change the "Apache Root" to:

Code: Select all

c:\inetpub\wwwroot

and change the "Cacti Web Root" to:

Code: Select all

\cacti

Hope this helps.

Also, if PHP isn't working for you in IIS, reinstall it with the "installer" package

http://www.php.net/do_download.php?down ... taller.exe

(BTW, 4.20 works fine with CACTI under IIS)

Back up your C:\winnt\php.ini file before you install. When the installer asks you if you want to copy over the previous PHP.INI, answer "NO".

Then, download the full .ZIP version http://www.php.net/do_download.php?down ... -Win32.zip

in order to get the newer MIB and PHP_SNMP.DLL files
