Anyways, yes you'll have to manually install the cacti mysql database.
http://docs.cacti.net/manual:087:1_inst ... er_windows You'll only need to do the configuration portions, as the installer already took care of the various installs. Don't do the "old-passwords" config in MySQL.
BSOD,
Again thank you so much...I think I am closer or not even close at all
.
I was able to do this:
Set a password for the root user (if not set already during MySQL installation)
c:\> mysqladmin --user=root password somepassword
c:\> mysqladmin --user=root --password reload
Create the MySQL database:
c:\> mysqladmin --user=root --password create cacti
Import the default Cacti database:
c:\> mysql --user=root --password cacti < c:\apache2\htdocs\cacti\cacti.sql
And now I can see a folder for cacti...
But when I do this:
Create a MySQL username and password for Cacti.
c:\> mysql --user=root --password mysql
mysql> GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO cactiuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'cactipw';
mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = OLD_PASSWORD('cactipw') WHERE Host = 'localhost' AND User = 'cactiuser';
mysql> flush privileges;
It says NO ROWS WERE UPDATED.
I followed the link you posted...
But now when I go to
http://machinename/cacti I still get:
FATAL: Cannot connect to MySQL server on 'TKAHD-CACTI-1'. Please make sure you have specified a valid MySQL database name in 'include/config.php'
Here is what my include/config.php says:
