[Apollion]

Hello,
Im new to cacti, but ive been trying to make it work in last few days. I used Cacti Windows Installed updated 18-07-2019, (cacti 1.2.5 spine 1.2.5. apache 2.4, mysql 5.7, php 7.2.20) everything went fine, no installation errors( i installed cacti on new clean system with all required drivers).
Im stuck at localhost\cacti\ this is what i get



i added to enviroment variables c:\cacti\php as PHPRC and c:\cacti\php\extras\mibs as MIBDIRS.

Here is apache error log

What is slightly worrying is all the '-q' and '-v' parameters not being allowed in your logs.

Check the mysql settings table for the path_php_binary and see what that is set to. That is used to run the install/cli_check.php with various parameters. If that fails, then it doesn't get back to modules it expects. It may also be possible that an error is appearing which messes with the json output.

Thanks for your quick response.
About mysql setting table, do you mean file in programdata\mysql\mysql server 5.7\my.ini ?

[netniV]

No, I mean the actual database tables that cacti users.
