Cannot access cactii

[skv8995]

Hello


I have installed Cacti 1.2.8 in Server 2019 Datacenter Edition


I am unable to get cacti page loaded on my webbrowser

when enter
http://localhost/cacti/

The Cacti GUI login page is not seen

Instead i see a page which says the following

Index of /cacti

*Parent Directory
*cacti-1.2.8/


Can someone help?

Rename the folder 'cacti-1.2.8' to just 'cacti'.

Scratch that. Move everything from /cacti/cacti-1.2.8 up one folder into the /cacti folder.

Did you change the installation path when you were installing? if so, that likely broke the defaults set in various places of the configurations on Windows.

As CB said, move the folder contents up a level from /cacti/cacti-1.2.8 to /cacti/ in Windows Explorer, then it should start working. If so, raise it as a potential bug and we can have our windows installer guy take a look.

So I moved the cacti folder up in /cacti

I still see the same thing when i enter

http://localhost/cacti/ in my webbrowser

You need to edit the php.ini file and enable the error_log restart Apache and go back to the cacti page. Then edit the error_log and see the error.

You should have moved the folder contents up, not the folder itself. Not sure what really was done...

I check the php.ini file and it had log_error = On (present at line one of the code)
I gave the path to it error_log=C:\php\php_errors.txt (Manually created the text file) (Present at last line of the code)
Restarted Apache and opened the webpage but it still shows the same

; http://php.net/log-errors
log_errors = On

; Set maximum length of log_errors. In error_log information about the source is
; added. The default is 1024 and 0 allows to not apply any maximum length at all.
; http://php.net/log-errors-max-len
log_errors_max_len = 1024

; Do not log repeated messages. Repeated errors must occur in same file on same
; line unless ignore_repeated_source is set true.
; http://php.net/ignore-repeated-errors
ignore_repeated_errors = Off

; Ignore source of message when ignoring repeated messages. When this setting
; is On you will not log errors with repeated messages from different files or
; source lines.
; http://php.net/ignore-repeated-source
ignore_repeated_source = Off

; If this parameter is set to Off, then memory leaks will not be shown (on
; stdout or in the log). This has only effect in a debug compile, and if
; error reporting includes E_WARNING in the allowed list
; http://php.net/report-memleaks
report_memleaks = On

; This setting is on by default.
;report_zend_debug = 0

; Store the last error/warning message in $php_errormsg (boolean). Setting this value
; to On can assist in debugging and is appropriate for development servers. It should
; however be disabled on production servers.
; Default Value: Off
; Development Value: On
; Production Value: Off
; http://php.net/track-errors
track_errors = Off

; Turn off normal error reporting and emit XML-RPC error XML
; http://php.net/xmlrpc-errors
;xmlrpc_errors = 0

; An XML-RPC faultCode
;xmlrpc_error_number = 0

; When PHP displays or logs an error, it has the capability of formatting the
; error message as HTML for easier reading. This directive controls whether
; the error message is formatted as HTML or not.
; Note: This directive is hardcoded to Off for the CLI SAPI
; Default Value: On
; Development Value: On
; Production value: On
; http://php.net/html-errors
html_errors = On

; If html_errors is set to On *and* docref_root is not empty, then PHP
; produces clickable error messages that direct to a page describing the error
; or function causing the error in detail.
; You can download a copy of the PHP manual from http://php.net/docs
; and change docref_root to the base URL of your local copy including the
; leading '/'. You must also specify the file extension being used including
; the dot. PHP's default behavior is to leave these settings empty, in which
; case no links to documentation are generated.
; Note: Never use this feature for production boxes.

;docref_root = "/phpmanual/"

; http://php.net/docref-ext
;docref_ext = .html

; String to output before an error message. PHP's default behavior is to leave
; this setting blank.
; http://php.net/error-prepend-string
; Example:
;error_prepend_string = "<span style='color: #ff0000'>"

; String to output after an error message. PHP's default behavior is to leave
; this setting blank.
; http://php.net/error-append-string
; Example:
;error_append_string = "</span>"

; Log errors to specified file. PHP's default behavior is to leave this value

So I moved the cacti folder up in /cacti

You should have moved the folder contents up, not the folder itself. Not sure what really was done...

I was getting an error moving logs up which said it is already opened so i deleted /cacti/cacti-1.2.8 downloaded the new stable release i.e cacti 1.2.10 and extracted to C:\Apache24\htdocs renaming the folder from (cacti 1.2.10 to cacti)

Guys

is there anything else that i should check?

[skv8995]

I replaced Apache with IIS

Even after running IIS i see the same thing after entering http://localhost/cacti/ in my webrowser
br
localhost - /cacti/

Not sure about IIS, but somewhere you need to tell IIS that the index file to open automatically is 'index.php' along with 'index.htm, index.html', etc.

[netniV]

If you are using IIS you need to ensure that the PHP script handlers are enabled and running, plus set the Default Document list to index index.php

[skv8995]

I am not sure how to carry out this operation
"If you are using IIS you need to ensure that the PHP script handlers are enabled and running, plus set the Default Document list to index index.php"

Where can I check if my PHP script handlers are enabled?

Please Help!

The link given below specifies on installing IIS 7 or 8 on the Windows server but I have installed IIS 10 on the server is version 10 compatible or should I roll back to 8 ?
