Error Importing default cacti database

Post by cabin »

Installing on WinXP pro SP2
cacti 0.8.6g
mysql 5.0.1
apache 2.0.54
php 5.0.5

after I create the cacti database I import the cacti database

C:\>mysql -u root -p -D cacti < c:\apache2\htdocs\cacti\cacti.sql
Enter password: *****
ERROR 1264 (22003) at line 1856: Out of range value adjusted for column 'availability' at row 1

I continued on and created cactiuser@localhost for the database, finished rest of install

When I launch the webpage I get message:

Error
You have created a new database, but have not yet imported the 'cacti.sql' file. At the command line, execute the following to continue:

mysql -u cactiuser -p cacti < cacti.sql


I try importing catcti.sql again and get :
ERROR 1050 (42S01) at line 4: Table 'cdef' already exists

Any ideas?

I have gotten cacti running on a 2000 Server but with older versions of everything, was hoping to get this running with the latest versions.

Thanks

To start with the basics, have you verified that there is a cacti.sql file in the path you are typing?

Also, have you tried any other versions of MYSQL?

I have verified the path, it takes the file but hangs up on the

100.00000 in the line in cacti.sql

availability decimal(7,5) NOT NULL default '100.00000',

if I change 100.00000 to 99.99999 here and in the INSERT INTO host VAULES it takes and imports everything correctly.

I have not tried an older version as this seems to have fixed it and allowed me to get things up and running.

Cacti is not supported on mysql 5.x, go back to 4.x.
