Error in installation or...?

[toti]

Hi all.

I'm new to this Cacti thing and all the other software that is required to run Cacti.
After having installed the software and beeing able to log in to Cacti and create Data Sources and Devices no graphs are produced.

When I tried to run the poller.php script from a command window I get the following error:

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\cacti>php poller.php
Cannot find module (IP-MIB): At line 0 in (none)

Cannot find module (SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB): At line 0 in (none)
Cannot find module (SNMPv2-TM): At line 0 in (none)


Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong in the installation or is this normal when run from a command window. I have checked call Path parameters and they are all right (at least it seems so)

I'm running the follwing versions of the software:

Apache 2.0.54
Cacti 0.8.6f
MySQL 4.1.12a
Net-SNMP 5.2.1-1
RRDTool 1.2.4

Thanks in advance,
Toti

When I check my Datasource and turn on Debug I get this message

Isn't there something wrong with the path in this ?

Well, the spaces in your directory names are a problem. Cacti doesn't like spaces.

[toti]

What about the / in the paht, is that normal running under Win32?

The direction of the slashes does not matter for Cacti.

You need to re-read the install instructions. You missed the part to create the MIBSDIR enviroment variable, hence all those SNMP module errors.

[toti]

The MIBDIRS system variable is in place and pointing to c:\php\mibs. How ever - shoud I change that to directory that points to net-snmp instead where as I'm using net-snmp. There is no mibs directory under c:\php. As I said earlier I'm new to this stuff but eager to learn. Any suggestions.

So you have the MIBSDIR pointing to c:\php\mibs when that folder does not exist? Do you think that makes any sense to do that?

Download the full install of PHP. It will contain the mibs directory plus the files that go in it.

Here's how I solved this issue:

1. Add a blank line after line 58 of include/config.php
2. Hardcode $config["base_path"] with DOS 8.3 directory names and forward slashes:

Code: Select all

$config["base_path"] = "c:/progra~1/apache~1/apache/htdocs/cacti";

3. Clear your poller cache.

Well, the spaces in your directory names are a problem. Cacti doesn't like spaces.

Yes, spaces are not supported in the current Windows build.

Hi all. The problem is solved. Moved the Apache directory to c:\Apache and hence got rid of the spaces. Changed the MIBSDIR system parameter to c:\net-snmp\share\snmp\mibs. Changed the Default RRDTool Font Paht ins Settings to c:\rrdtool\cour.ttf (courier font). These changes made did the trick. Everything is working as expected now. Thanks all for your input.
