Looks like you're close to getting it working. If you manually run the rrdtool command and pipe the output to a png file, is it a valid image? Since you used the windows installer, you'll want to keep the rrdtool version at 1.2.

Have you restarted the server since installing?
Did you follow the post-install instructions?

Hey BSOD, thanks for the response.

I've tried a couple of things since posting. I've tried to change the RRDTool version to 1.2.12 instead of 1.2.15, and now I am getting all graphs, however there is just no data!

I've attached a screenshot showing what I see now when I put the graphs on Debug Mode.

It's like it's either not creating the rrd file correctly, snmp is busted, or rrdtool isn't getting the right input :(

I've followed all install and post-install instructions, and I think I am doing everything right.

Any ideas?

This is just a sample graph, and what cacti tells me about it.

What syntax should I give it?

Yes and Yes.

If it's getting this far, it wouldn't be a problem with the PHP or mysql installation would it? Considering the GUI all works fine...

I do not have anything configured for the font fields for RRDTool. Do I need to put anything in these? Is this perhaps why the graphs have no text, or is it more likely to be related to the fact RRDTool isn't working correctly?

That red spike means you've been collecting data. Yes, you need to specify a valid rrdtool font+path, that is why you do not have any text.

It's all working now!!

Thanks for your help BSOD, I think it was just a matter of setting up the rrdtool font and leaving my system run for a while.

For some reason I didn't get any graph data until about 2am this morning. Weird...

Oh well, it's all working now so I am a happy little camper. Now on to suss out pulling perfmon data out of my system into it ;)
