[How To] Patch a Windows Installation of Cacti?

[pshankland]

Could someone tell me how to patch a Windows installation of Cacti? You can obviously use the Windows WGET or just download the *.patch files to the <path_cacti> directory but what then? The site says to use the command patch but that dosn't exist on a Win32 install.

Thanks.

Hi

get the pre-patched files here : http://www.cacti.net/downloads/patches/

You just have to overwrite the files.

Lovely job - cheers.

If you install Cygwin (as outlined in my guide), then the wget and patch commands work as outlined on the website. There is also a patching section in my guide...

Cheers BSOD2600. Have just gone through your guide on a new test install I have done within a Windows 2003 Server running through VMware - it works like a treat.

Thanks.
