cigamit is correct, this is a permission issue. Running Sysinternals.com FileMon would reveal this too with IUSR_COMPNAME getting denied.

Well I've found a few problems with the current installer when ran only on Windows 2000.

1) The scheduled task for cacti is not created. I relied on the schtasks.exe tool, which comes with XP/2003. Will need to revise the installer to compensate for this. For the 1.1 windows installer, you'll have to manually create it.

2) The NTFS permissions are not applied at all. After the installer copies xcacls.exe over to your Windows directory, it checks the system path to find it. For whatever reason, Windows 2000 doesn't properly find it while inside the script. I've modified it so it now looks in the Windows directory too. You can download the updated script here (right click Save As). Usage information is in the script.

3) The RRDTool Default Font path is set to c:\windows\. The default windows directory for Windows 2000 is C:\WINNT\. This will result in graphs with no text. Simply update the path.

4) The paths in Cacti's settings are defaulted to C:\. This creates a problem if you've installed it on another drive letter. I'll modify the installer to update the drive letters in the Cacti MySQL database.

I'll be updating the installer this weekend to fix these problems AND to use the latest versions of all core components.

rallen: I didn't get any messages about msvcr71.dll, so it must be something specific to you.

For the cpu usage, go to graph management and enable graph debugging. What error do you see? If its the .rrd file cannot be found, then it seems like you're not collecting any valid data. In that case, Turn the polling level in cacti to debug (Settings | Polling level) for one cycle, wait for Cacti to run, and paste the output of the actual log file (<webroot>/cacti/log/cacti.log). Look in the log file for when cacti tries to get data from your cpu.

Localhost Error

Post by tim.shoemaker »

I just installed everything as directed, and followed the post installation instructions. Now I keep getting this when I go to the website.

Warning: mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Access denied for user 'cactiuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\lib\adodb\drivers\adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 355

I'm wondering if I messed up on the mysql installation?

Thanks for the help.

What OS?
Have you restarted the server?
Did you change any settings?
What firewall / antivirus ?

OS is Windows XP. I did reboot.
I have restarted the machine.
I only changed the post installation settings.
No firewall or antivirus is currently running. I did a fresh installation of XP, and office professional 2003 is on it too.

Why do you think you, "messed up on the mysql installation?" Did you previously have mysql installed?

There were two options, one was windows authentication, and the other one was something else, I chose windows.

Where did you see these options? They're not part of that windows installer...

Did you previously have mysql installed?

I saw them during the MySQL install

No, I didn't previously install MySQL.

During the MySQL install? huh? The installer doesn't present you with any options for authentication. It's all preconfigured for you.

Mind posting a screenshot of what you're talking about?

Sure, here you go. I noticed that it won't really start without checking this option. I've tried reinstalling everything again. (Fortunately I have an image to go back on every time).
Thanks for the help.

That dialog is NOT part of this beta windows installer. Are you manually running that? If not, when does it get invoked?
