Those pop up windows are happening because you created the scheduled task for cacti which uses the same user account you're logging onto the server with. Change usernames and they'll go away.
I D/L'd the patches under my ID (which is an Administrator account). When the patches ran, they altered ownership on all the patched files to my ID. All the other files are owned by "Administrators", presumably meaning any administrator. Giving ownership back to the generic setting works much better.
There is no plain "adminstrator" account on this machine.
Is there a general recommendation for this? I would tend to do everything under my regular account ID.
Well as the patching instructions stated in my guide.... one should double check the file/folder security after patching for the reason you found out. If you 'copy' a file to the cacti folder, it should inherit the NTFS security set by the folder (or higher folders). If you 'cut' and 'paste' then the file will retain the NTFS security settings from wherever the file was first downloaded (probably your administrator desktop for example).
Naw. I just ran the wget followed by the patch, just like the instructions said:
Installation Instructions
Execute the following commands to install all of these patches against Cacti version 0.8.6g. Be sure that you are in your Cacti directory when you execute these commands.
I have searching everywhere. How do you patch in windows? I have downloaded the patches manually, but for the life of me, cannot figure out how to apply them.
1. There are two methods of applying patches to Cacti:
1. If you have Cygwin installed, then the patch instructions which use wget and patch, will work.
2. The other method requires you to visit http://www.cacti.net/downloads/patches/<cacti version>/pre-patched/ and manually download and replace the patched files.
2. You might need to reapply file/folder security on the files patched. Double check they are correct.
