Cacti with SQL server vs MySQL

[GunnarPhilipp]

Hello Everybody.

Has anybody successfully installed CACTI with Microsoft SQL server rather than MySQL? If yes, do you have a converted DB creation script (the cacti.sql) and what do you use as correct settings in the config.php.

here is how I have this setup now (I have not started CACT as I need to create the DBses first.

$database_type = "sql";
$database_default = "cacti";
$database_hostname = "SQL Servers IP Address";
$database_username = "domain\UserName";
$database_password = "myPassword";
/*$database_port = "3306";*/
$database_port = "1433";
$database_ssl = false;


Thank you for your comments and help!

I believe a lot of our current SQL Queries are incompatible with MSSQL, so I highly doubt it will work.
