W2k3 Install and Errors

[laarocho]

I get a blank page / Page not found after install. If I run SysInt FileMon I see cacti activity but no web page at all.

Here’s BSOD2600 answer to my message

“notice all the lines 12:46:43 PM mysqld-nt.exe:1964 OPEN C:\MySQL\data\cacti\settings.frm NOT FOUND Options: Open Access: All Where mysql is trying to find the cacti settings but can't? Looks like you didn't properly set up the mysql database.”

[BSOD2600]

err ok. So did you get any errors when you initially imported the cacti.sql file?
Did you read my install guide, which said you should've patched cacti before importing cacti.sql?

[laarocho]

Here we go.

This is the config is on my laptop. I'm getting a blank page but my processor activity goes 99% and as you can see on the FileMon log, CACTI is trying to run.

XP Pro SP2
Apache 2.0.55
PHP 5.1.2
MySQL 5.0
Cacti 8.6h Prepatched
Cactid
Cygwin 1.5.18


Check the file is a filemon.

Do I need to complete the following steps for Apache?

Give the COMPUTERNAME\IUSR_XXXX and COMPUTERNAME\IIS_WPG users read & execute permissions to the file C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe. Both users will also need read permissions on c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\ and its subfolders.
IIS6: Give the IIS_WPG user modify permissions to the folders /cacti/log and /cacti/rra.
IIS5: Give the IUSR_XXXX user modify permissions to the folders /cacti/log and /cacti/rra.

This is the Apache error log file. Just in case.

here's the error when I try to import the DB

"ERROR 1050 (42S01) at line 5: Table 'cdef' already exists"

Do I need to complete the following steps for Apache?

Yes. Modify the paths for apache.

Looks like you don't have the permissions set on c:\temp so PHP can create session files.

"ERROR 1050 (42S01) at line 5: Table 'cdef' already exists"

That happens when you try to import cacti.sql more than once and/or you have mysql strict mode enabled.


Did you have filtering on when you ran FileMon? Also, seems like you did a lot of other things while it was running which was needlessly included in that large log...

[laarocho]

This is what I'll do. Remove the currently install on my laptop then install the same version that I see working using your signature as example. Here's another log file with filter on.

[BSOD2600]

5:22:28 PM mysqld-nt.exe:260 OPEN C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\data\cacti\settings.frm NOT FOUND Options: Open Access: All is a big problem.

I suggest you delete the c:\mysql\data\cacti directory and start over again.

[laarocho]

I was planning on reinstalling using the same version you had installed and we know is working. At the same time I will translate the Install guide in Spanish, for the Spanish speaking IT community.

[laarocho]

I'm not able to login with username admin and password admin.

[BSOD2600]

This should work: http://www.cacti.net/downloads/docs/htm ... ml#AEN1867

[laarocho]

Where can I download the full Cacti Manual?

[BSOD2600]

Tried C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\docs\html\index.html ? Same thing is mirred on the website.

[laarocho]

Does not work. It's on a loop to the same window. But if I try another user name and pass I get the screen with the following message "Invalid User Name/Password Please Retype:"

Any ideas?
