Great job having this installer!! Made the whole installing much easier.... well done!

[CactiGuy]

I'm looking to install Cacti on drive D: and be sure that all the data is stored on the D: drive (much larger drive). I see on the installer there is an option to pick D: drive, but some components still end up on the C: Drive.

D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Cacti
D:\Spine
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0
D:\Net-SNMP
D:\PHP
D:\RRDTool
C:\Program Files\GetIF

Any way to get everything on the D: drive?

The installer pulls the %PROGRAMFILES% variable from the environment and uses that for a few programs. Since yours apparently is still set to C:\... thats why it got used. Really no way to change that in the installer without some additional coding.

The Cacti db and getif really aren't all that large in the scope of things... maybe ~150 MB. You could let the installer place the files on the C:\ then move them to D:\. getif is a simple cut + paste. MySQL you'll want to backup the \mysql\data\ folders & my.ini, uninstall, reinstall specifying the D:\ drive then restore the data files and my.ini.

Thanks

You mentioned that the MySQL Cacti database is only about 150MB, will that grow? Where is the majority of the data Cacti gathers held? RRDTool?

I'm having some trouble getting Cacti running again after moving MySQL to the D: drive and i'm considering leaving it on the C drive. My main concern that my C: drive does not fill up, i want to get the data Cacti gathers on the D: drive (much larger)

Thanks!

The majority of the space used by Cacti is the *.rrd files, which is where all the data collected during polling is stored. The cacti db is only used to keep track of devices, templates, configurations, etc.

You could create an NTFS junction point for your C:\cacti\rra\ folder and have it redirected to the D:\ drive -- space problem solved.

Does your newest installer feature support for ssl?

It seems that no matter what I try, using a privacy passphrase(encryption) will not work, but everything else works perfectly fine.

[BSOD2600]

The SSL Apache is installed (if selected). Not sure offhand if the newer net-snmp 5.5.x binaries have the SSL stuff included with them or not -- the older 5.4.x packages had a separate SSL download required.

Are you able to snmpwalk using V3 from the commandline against a host?

Hi BSOD2600,
I like to know if you plan soon a new version with update of the tools around Cacti (mySQL, RRDTool, ecc.).

Thanks again for your valuable contribution.

Not really. What dependencies do you think need to get updated?

Hmm, I guess mysql 5.0 did reach EOL for active support. Guess I'll need to do some testing for mysql 5.1

[smlick]

My idea is about RRDTool (now at 1.4.2 stable release) and mySQL.
The other tools are yet up to date.

RRDTool 1.3.x only half works with Cacti 0.8.7x. I haven't given 1.4.x a try yet but suppose I should do so. One problem is that there are no win32 compiled versions of 1.3 or 1.4 at http://www.gknw.net/mirror/rrdtool/

[smlick]

You are right sorry

Hi,

I get following message in top on every page in cacti after installation. Does anyone know a quick fix?

Windows 2008 SE 32 Bit
Apache
IIS is disabled on server.

$plugins = array(); $plugins[] = 'update'; $plugins[] = 'settings'; $plugins[] = 'hostinfo';

Besides the error message above I seem to have trouble with graph images on selected objects. Maybe the two problems are related to the same root cause.

Any help is appreciated.
