Windows All-In-One Installer [Cacti 1.2.24] [Updated 2023-03-09]

[ame]

thanks for the fast answers!!

One small problem:

I tried to import a WMI script (Perl) and it does not work - then I tried to run it manually from the command line but I get only that: "perl is not recognized as an internal or external command"

Must I install perl??

Computer : Windows XP SP2
IIS 5.1
Installer used: cacti-0.8.6h.1.3.exe

When i go to http://localhost/cacti/

I get HTTP 403 error

Thanks

ame: yes you need to install perl. Then you'll have to deal with user permission issues with WMI. Read the FAQ in my installation guide.



jokerz: sounds like you didnt follow the post-install instructions and configured IIS.

BSOD - you wrote in your install guide:

Add the cactiuser account that's going to be used. Assign the following rights:

Enable Account
Enable Remote

Which account do you mean with cactiuser? Is it the account which runs the scheduled task for cactid? Then in my case it is in the moment the local admin and this one has got full control over WMI, but I get these error messages in the cacti log:

10/27/2006 09:05:10 AM - CACTID: Poller[0] Host[2] ERROR: Empty result [localhost]: 'perl c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/cacti\scripts\lit_w32_os.pl localhost get MaxProcessMemorySize,TotalVirtualMemorySize, FreeVirtualMemory,TotalVisibleMemorySize,FreePhysicalMemory, SizeStoredInPagingFiles,FreeSpaceInPagingFiles'

So i tried to run it manually from the command line but there all is working - any ideas?

ame: Yes, add the account thats running the scheduled task, since thats the user windows will be impersonating when it runs things related to cacti.

jokerz: Look in your /cacti/docs/html/post-install.html

Hi BSOD,

I think you have misunderstood me....
If I want to collect the data over cactid I get the error message as described above. When I start the script manually over the command line everything is fine.

[b]It is the same user which runs cactid and the manual script over cmd.....!!![/b]

Any ideas???

Thanks

[BSOD2600]

Ah. Make sure you're using cactid 0.8.6i. Also, you'll need to edit the data input method and specify the FULL path to the perl.exe file (i.e. c:\perl\bin\perl.exe). The cactid needs the full path where as cmd.php does not.

I install cacti with the beta install got everything working . Can not login in with the default password admin/admin

[BSOD2600]

You didn't follow the installation instructions -- that is not the default login anymore.

Go re-read the post installation documentation or the last screen of the installer.

For some reason when the scheduled task for poller.php kicks off, it opens the file in notepad instead of executing.

Any thoughts or ideas on what is causing this? I assume it is an association but not sure how to remove an association or if I need to associate it to something else I am not sure what I would associate it to?

[BSOD2600]

Sounds like your .php file extension is associated with notepad instead of PHP. Was this a previous system setting you had? Guess I'll add that to the next installer too.

Anyways to fix it, go to my computer | Tools | Folder options | File Types. Find the PHP extension and change it to open with c:\php\bin\php.exe

[techguy]

I do apologize, I ended up fixing it last night and it all worked like a champ.

I have added perl and got some scripts working as well now. Lot to learn but things are coming along thinks to your installer.

The last thing I am working on is getting plugin support working. I know it is not supported yet in the windows installer, so I am trying to figure it all out.

Like I said though, so far so good. Couldn't have done it without the windows installer because I simply dont have the patience to have installed everything and configured it all and got things working.

Hello,

Computer : Windows XP SP2
IIS 5.1
default install from cacti-0.8.6h.1.3.exe.

I have added two hosts: localhost and external one. I can ping it from command promt sucessfully. But status for both is still "unknown".

Here is log output with debug enabled:

Polling is enabled, cmd.php, only ICMP ping, because I don't need SNMP.
Even if I try to run poller.php by hand, I don't see ping results, only:

Can somebody point me to right place, what is wrong?

Thank you,
