I see (in topic name) that you are not used to this things.

Maybe a tip to install phpMyAdmin on your webserver, you don't need to use the command line and you can just click away.

Website: http://www.phpmyadmin.net
Download: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/phpm ... p?download

Sure that is the correct path to cacti.sql ?
