You have to enter the Lines

extension=mysql.so
extension=snmp.so

in yout php.ini!

If you're running MySQL 4.1 then you will need to apply the old password trick for user authentication to work with Cacti.

1. Stop the MySQL service, edit your my.ini file, and add the following:

#Use old password encryption method (needed for 4.0 and older clients).
old-passwords

2. You will also need to update the cactiuser account with the old password style:

shell> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = OLD_PASSWORD('cactipw') WHERE Host = 'localhost' AND User = 'cactiuser';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

You need to give IIS_USR modify rights to C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\ so PHP can store the session files.

Make sure you have php_mysql.dll uncommented from php.ini.

Open a command prompt/shell and type the following:

"php -m" and "php -v".

I have tried copying libmySQL.dll to windows\system32 folder

[BSOD2600]

Why are you trying to use a Linux plugin? c:\php\ext\msql.so you should be using *.dll instead of *.so files.

libmySQL.dll in your windows directory won't fix anything. Please read this any apply the fix: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html

After just a few hours of sleep, BSOD hit's one out of the ballpark

I went into the ini file and made the discussed changes to the file. I have a question though, while looking around in the file I came across this.

[SQL]
sql.safe_mode = OFF

[ODBC]
odbc.default_db = Not yet implemented
odbc.default_user = Not yet implemented
odbc.default _pw = Not yet implemented


I know that's not correct and I'm in the learning stages of mysql, so I'm at a loss of what to do here.

I also made sure all the security settings were in place for all the folders talked about and they were all done.

Thanking you guys in advance

saki:
1) Read the install guide in my signature
2) You don't need to mess with the [SQL] or [ODBC] sections
3) You haven't enabled the php_mysql.dll plugin in php.ini

[TheWitness]

Saki,

You are also missing the php_snmp.dll and php_sockets.dll extensions.

Ok followed your guide step by step and am now getting this.

You are almost there. What version of PHP are you running?
