I'm holding off until some patches have been released for 0.8.8b, otherwise many users will have problems with existing custom scripts.

+1 for this.

I just spent 14 weeks trying to get a project to work using a mix of Cacti and The dude and Ntop.

After 13 weeks of messing around with 7 different Linux distros, I returned to Windows, and finally installed Cacti using the installer.

Little did I realise that the last week spent chasing possible reasons why my graphs wouldnt display was maybe caused by the inherent bug in the 0.8.8a.

Nothing worked as smoothly (for me) as the installer. Especially for a novice.

I have followed 2 sets of instructions of "how to's" install Cacti on Windows 7, and now having ripped out the old version. I am totally unable to knit together Xampp and Cacti.

(Xampp is running fine!!)

So I am very much dependant on your revised installer.

Any chance of a timeline for it, I don't want my new server to sit around collecting much more dust!

Hi BSOD2600, I tried to update my old 0.8.7.g Cacti version with your installer (0.8.8.a), the installation process goes smoothly, after that I edited the config and global file with the correct path (FQDN and also I tried with the fixed IP) and grant to access the cacti db (another server) but I get always connect problem to the db. Any idea? How to debug this kind of problem?

Regards
Alessio

As the first post states, the installer is not meant for upgrading.

Please follow the standard upgrade procedures as documented in http://docs.cacti.net/

you shouldnt need to edit global.php for any reason. double-check your config.php settings are correct AND you can use those credentials to log into mysql.

Installer doesn't work, I get

*FATAL ERORR*
Error reading MySQL install location

I am on Win 7 64 bit. I tried to install mysql beforehand like someone else here that had the issue and it gave me an error during the install process for this installer that Cacti won't work with this version of mysql. I then got the same fatal error above towards the end of the installation. Anybody know?

[BSOD2600]

swappedsr:
please attach the installer log file. Sounds like either my MySQL installer failed and/or you previously have MySQL installed which Cacti cannot detect where it resides.

[swappedsr]

Here is the log. I did have mysql installed and completely removed it and completely uninstalled cacti and rebooted. I then ran the installer again, no dice.

[swappedsr]

Anybody?

[BSOD2600]

MySQL was presently installed when the Cacti installer was ran. It doesnt have logic to handle this, which is why it failed.

Either completely remove it or follow the installation guide to install cacti manually.

Fixed, there is a registry fix that needed to be applied. I ran mysql by itself and it gave me a "Could not access network location \Hewlett-Packard\\." I googled the registry fix and the answer was here:

To fix it, go into regedit and look in the registry under these two keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
If you see an "InstallLocation" value containing \Hewlett-Packard\\ just delete it. Then the software should be OK.
This value is somehow getting pulled into the MSI installer property "INSTALLDIR", though I'm not sure why. I'm also not sure why this impact some installers but not others, nor is it clear this is a bug in the installer (it sounds like an HP issue to me).

I then reran the cacti installer and it worked without a problem.

Do i need to configure on windows the snmp services? Does it have to be activate or disable?

Hi,im new in cacti and also with all his dependecies, so i dont know how to solve some problems.

I had installed Cacti in Windows 7 with this windows Installer, everything looks like its right, i can make graphics of my pc, they work good, but when i tried to make a graphic of the interface of a Huawei Router im not able too see the interfaces of my divice.
The SNMP looks like its working because when i create the Device i can see the inf of the Router, but i don get any data query [SNMP-Static Interfaces]. Every time i try to reload the data query i get blank pages... any idea?

I have another question, before run de installer my snmp agent was installed and running on my pc, is it ok? And does i have to be running all the time, so i need to use snmp agent and net-snmp?

Not required to be installed on the Cacti server, but helpful.
