[solved] Help! Restore cacti failed

[i_lius]

Hi,
I recently moving server from Win 2008 R2 running cacti 0.8.8a to Win 7 Ultimate 64bit.
Done backup of mysql, the rrd files & others related folder, following the instruction given in the manual (documentation) and by reading the forum, but it failed to restore on the new machine.

the steps i've done to restore:

1. Install new cacti using windows installer (http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14946)
it ran new cacti fine.

2. Restore mysql database:
mysqldump -u root -p cacti < cacti.sql

3. copy rrd, scripts, resources from old cacti

tried open cacti http://127.0.0.1/cacti, expecting old data is restored, but it didn't. cacti can only accept the default user name and password and is empty.

folder locations are all exactly the same as the old ones.

Is there any step i'm missing here?

Any help or direction would be very appreciated.

Thanks!

mysqldump is for... dumping the database. you want to use mysql -u root -p cacti > cacti.sql to import.
