how to upgrade from 0.8.6e to 0.8.6f on windows 2000?

Post by ioiioi »

I install cacti 0.8.6e along with some addons such as thold, cisco nbar, and Host-disk V2 on windows2000, now I would like to upgrade from 0.8.6e to 0.8.6f, the official upgrade instruction was based on linux, not for windows, Is there anybody can tell me how to upgrade the cacti on windows, and keep my original setting untouched?
thanks in advance.

The linux instructions, which use wget and patch, work just fine on a windows platform. You will need cygwin installed along with these tools (which are found in the cygwin setup).

Alternatively, you can download the prepatched files from http://www.cacti.net/downloads/patches/

I found something interesting in the patches folder. there are many .patch files, and a pre-patched subfolder within /downloads/patches/0.8.6f/, and which files I should be used to upgrade my original 0.8.6e, and how?just override the same name files?
My enviroment:
windows 2000 server
0.8.6e
mysql-4.1
apache2.0.53
cacti folder
c:\apache2\htdocs\cacti

Follow the directions on the 0.8.6e patches page. Then once you're at 0.8.6f, install all of its patches. Alternatively, you can just download the 0.8.6f zip file which has everything updated.

You can do the patch installs in bulk too. For example, copy/paste all the wget lines then paste them into the command prompt and hit enter. It will download them all, one by one. Do the same for the patch commands.
