How do you update Cacti on Windows?

[Quickybilly]

Hello,

I would like to update our Cacti version 0.8.7c to the latest, but I can´t find any information on how to update Cacti on Windows.

Could anyone help?

Thanks.

Thank you. I had already seen that doc, but it is based on Linux distributions.

I expected a Windows oriented help, but I guess I will be able to do it under Windows the same way as in Linux.

While the commands are linux based, the fundamental ideas/process is the same.

Ok, thanks. I'll try to do it that way.

Hope not to mess up with file permissions.

#10: Know when to copy and when to move

Standard copy and move operations deliver default results that can maintain your configured permissions--or break them. A good way to remember this is that copy operations will create the permissions of the destination container, and move operations will maintain that of the parent container.

Memorization mechanism: CC/MM -- CopiesCreate/MovesMaintain or CopiesCreate/MovesMake.

Of course, there is also the need to copy resources and maintain NTFS permissions that would be difficult to re-create. The fallen SCOPY utility has given way to XCOPY with the /O and /X parameters to perform this type of function. Using XCOPY with these parameters will allow copy operations to copy the files and/or folders to a new location and create them with the NTFS permissions equal to that of the source container.
