For the MySQL issues, I'm currently looking into them.
The pro/con of using their Web Installer, is the code is always up to date... including bugs. In the process of finding reliable workarounds to these. Once thats done an update will released.

@BSOD2600, I noticed the defaults file my.ini changed location from "C:\Program Files\MySQL Server 5.7\my.ini" to "C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\my.ini".

@BSOD2600, I noticed the defaults file my.ini changed location from "C:\Program Files\MySQL Server 5.7\my.ini" to "C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\my.ini".

The location has been changed by the MySQL installer, not this one. It's a better and more correctly suited location anyways.

If i goto the windows service it stops it straight away.

Windows Server 2019 installign with IIS

I would check if MySQL 5.7 is even supported on Windows 2019... I'd be surprised if it was.

[BSOD2600]

Windows 2019 is not even listed for MySQL 8.0 on https://www.mysql.com/support/supported ... abase.html

Thanks @BSOD2600 for keep up to date this installer and great job for the new RRDTool 1.7 windows compilation. I think that you could create a copy of the new binaries in the address of the main RRDTool page binaries ( https://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/download.en.html ) so more people can find it, the actual link for windows binaries is linked to cacti but to older version of RRDTool ( Cygwin Windows http://www.cacti.net/downloads/rrdtool/win32/ ).

It´s just an idea, excelent work.

[BSOD2600]

The rrdtool compiled versions included in the installer are posted, just in a different location

I did a fresh install of the latest release on Windows 2012. Everything works well except when I change the poller to use Spine. Spine works when run manually from the command line but when I change to spine from within the Cacti UI my graphs stop updating. Debug log doesn't show anything useful. I have confirmed the paths are correct. Any idea what might be wrong? I'm running the 1.2.0 Development release of Spine.

[netniV]

When you run it manually, are you running it as the same user that is running the website? Make sure you are using the runas/user:<user> spine.exe (where <user> is the website user, assuming that is what is being used from the task scheduler).

My knowledge of the windows side is lacking at the moment but I am planning on improving that over the next month.

Hi, I just downloaded and installed your Cacti 1.2.0 installer. Everything seems like it worked perfectly. However, when I launched cacti for the first time and entered in the randomly generated cacti administrator password, it tells me that it is incorrect. How can I change the password so I can get in? Thanks in advance.

[BSOD2600]

vgauthier:
are you sure you didnt copy any trailing spaces for the password?
What language is your OS and keyboard?

[vgauthier]

Positive about the spaces as I tried both pasting and typing in the password. I'm running this on a Windows 2012 R2 server with standard English keyboard.

[vgauthier]

I rebuilt the server and ran the install again. This time I had no issues and I'm ready to configure graphs in Cacti. Thanks for making the install so simple!
