Windows All-In-One Installer [Cacti 1.2.24] [Updated 2023-03-09]

[Ed_Howard]

Good Evening,

I ended up uninstalling and then reinstalling the software and was able to log in just fine. It was obviously something I was doing wrong. I appreciate the quick response. I am hoping that I won't have to ask for help for a little while. I am off to your next post regarding Canopy templates. Thanks again for all the hard work.

I had to install\unistall as well, and after going throught permission confirmation, have graphs OK.
Can anyone advise how to deal with custom template?
Where to get them/greate them youself and so on?
In particular, I'm looking to gather SNMP statistics from Juniper MX960 and MX320 as well Cisco 6500 and so on. I just started with Cacti, and detailed info will be really helpfull.
I'm looking to use Cacti for very specific lab envirement, and intersted to have flexibility to put out statistics into excel/pdf/word documents of captured data.
Thank you in advance.

dkarpekin: This question is not related to the installer and should be put into a separate thread.

templates can be found in the script forum and/or http://docs.cacti.net/templates

Hi BSOD2600,

I have been having trouble downloading the Installer from the ftp location, i have been trying for a week now.
The download sticks to around 2KB p/s, even with a download manager it couldn't be done.

What could be causing this?

Hope you have time to look into this,

Regards,

I just downloaded it from work at ~900 KB/s. What country are you in? Able to download files from other USA sites with decent speeds?

Hi, I'm situated in the Netherlands.

I'm able to download anything from anywhere with any download speed, I'm behind a Gb Inet connection.

Just letting you know it came down fine here in South Africa, round 450 KB/s.

Installing fine so far.

Edit: Woops, spoke to soon - seems stuck on Configuring MySQL...

Is this a known problem ? Tried searching the forum but MySQL is an ignored word....

No progress has been made for a while, do I use task manager to kill it and try again?

dksaarth:
What is the specific error(s) logged for mysql failing?

If the installer hasnt done anything in ~10 minutes, time to kill it via task manager.

Hi BSOD2006

I'm not at work where this machine was being configured, but here is what I can remember so far.

There definitely wasn't any error message displayed in the installer, the last statement was

Configuring MySQL...

and then the installer did nothing. I killed it via task manager, and tried reinstalling. This lead to the installer progressing further, but now there were errors complaining about MySQL not working (as the previous installation configuration of MySQL didn't work). This was because MySQL wasn't running - There was some corruption of my.ini, and when I opened it the first line said oldpasswords instead of having a [client] or other identifying section before it, which caused MySQL to complain about missing a group or some similar error.

I thus manually ran the configuration executable, and got a proper default my.ini file. I then tried reinstalling. This time the installer logged errors relating to access being denied for MySQL (which I guessed now had the default empty password and not whatever the configuration sets it to), but it did generate the correct my.ini file.

I then reset the mysql root password to 'cacti' using the steps outlined in (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/ ... sions.html), which had to be run in an administrative cmd prompt as I am on windows 7.

I restarted the installation process, and this time everything seemed to go smoothly.

I didn't have time to monitor cacti, but i was able to start seeing some graphs appear for a test device I had configured.

I'm not sure what caused the issue with the mysql configuration - hopefully I managed to hack together a working system at the end of it all, and repeated my steps here in case they are useful to somebody else in a similar position.

Thanks for the great download and program, saved me a lot of time and gave me the confidence to attempt to install cacti on a remote windows box (only windows available at the location, and I only have experience with cacti on linux and years ago on bsd)

Going to try get it going on the remote box during the weekend, but looks feasible now

Thanks

Wanted to let you know that I just started a new installation on a Windows 2003 X64 server. I too got the same exact message as indicated above in this thread. I checked the installer log and saw no indication of any errors. I just re-installed only the core Cacti application and it appears I get the default login page now.

[BSOD2600]

robocp01: What specific error(s) did you get? please attach the cacti-install.log file for me to review. Did you previously have any components installed?

Hi,

Im new to this and installed the installer (it was great!) i had to figure out the ins and outs of this software and was able to made it. Now i have the cacti running with a graph. Im testing it now to get a simple latency graph on a switch. I had the graph but the problem is it doesnt show any data but a blank graph. I run a debug and this was the result:

C:/rrdtool/rrdtool.exe graph - \

RRDTool Says:

OK

it seems to be ok but no data on the graph is shown. I was running this for more than 2 hours and still no data coming in. Any idea on what i am missing here?

thanks in advance!
