You need to define the path to perl of have perl in your path.

To define the path to perl, you will have to modify any "Data Input Methods" and Data query Resource files that point to perl.

Then, you have to "clear" your poller cache. Or, you can just try 0.8.6i beta (cactid) in the Announcements forum.

I already checked these two.
The path is included (as you can see in the log) in the data input method. Also I'm using the actual beta of cactid.

This is likely a user permissions issue with WMI. Please read in my FAQ how to allow specific users to access WMI.

Running that scripts with poller.cmd has no problems.
Running that scripts with cactid does not work.

So I do not think thats an permission issue with WMI.

It seems to be a setupproblem with cygwin.
I installed cygwin on d:\ with the complete windows installer package. After reinstalling with cygwin setup.exe to d: all is ok.

I have the same problem. But i'm using DLL's provided with cactid.
So at that moment snmp DSs are working, script DSs are not.

Both path to perl and permition to WMI are OK!

CACTID 0.8.6i. OS - Windows 2003 Server Enterprise.

I've just find why this happend! It's because sh.exe requare cygintl-3.dll. Which is not in cactid package.

Hmm, interesting. They must've recently added that dependency to sh. If you install the libintl3 package in Cygwin, that'll add the needed dll.

BSOD,

It requires another DLL as well. See my other post on this related Vladimir Pasashnikov other post.
