Bug handling spaces in path names

[mikemee]

Ok, silly me. I used the default setup directory when I installed Apache, and it placed it into:

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2

Two problems with this apparently - the space between Program and Files and between Apache and Group. After bouncing around the forum and trying various things, I was able to run cmd.php with:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\cacti>c:\php\php.exe "c:\program files\apache group\apache2\htdocs\cacti\cmd.php"

which then replied with:

Code: Select all

Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.8

#!/usr/bin/php -q
Can't open perl script "C:\Program": No such file or directory
09/17/2004 11:03:38 PM - CMDPHP: Poller[0] Host[1] WARNING: Result from CMD not
valid.  Partial Result:

(repeated)

I'm going to fiddle with the paths config to see if adding "s will help, but I'm not optimistic.

mikemee,

Cacti 0.8.6x does not currently support Long File Names. Sorry. We are looking into ways to support this in the future. It is not a high priority at this time.

I had the same problem, the solution was to reinstall Apache in C:\ ...
like

c:\Apache2

I highly recommend you to do that, then i think you will have some problems with SQL, hope not have a good day

In the end I left Apach alone and modified the file C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\conf\httpd.conf. Find the line starting with DocumentRoot and change it to:

Code: Select all

DocumentRoot "C:/htdocs"

And then move the entire htdocs directory (including Cacti ifyou've installed that already) into c:\htdocs.

This also fixes the problem nicely.

cheers, michael
