Looks like the NTFS security wasn't properly applied during the install. Read my install guide for where to apply it. http://bsod2600.home.comcast.net/install_windows.html

Check rrdtool.exe and cmd.exe first.

Create a separate post and post a Filemon log when you try to just view a graph.

Man,
I gotta say job well done BSOD. I set up Cacti last year on linux and not knowing Linux it was a real task. So much I wasnt even interested in doing it on Windows. This sure helped.

Hello,
I've just set up this Cacti installer :
http://mirror.cactiusers.org/cacti-0.8.6i.1.4.exe

I run under IIS 6.0 on W2003 Server

It's seems working unless the graph view. I've got a red cross...

Thanks,

1) Did you install it to the C: drive or somewhere else? If it wasn't the C: drive, then you need to manually update the paths in cacti's settings.

2) Turn on graph debugging and see what the error is.

Hello... i'm new to this so please be easy on me. I installed the software onto a win2k3 server and the prerequisites (IIS/SNMP) were installed. The software installation went without a hitch and I performed the post-installation steps prior to rebooting.

I was able to pullup the site (http:\\localhost\cacti), however, the username (admin) and password (admin) is not being accepted. I also tried logging into MySQL and am not able to use the username (root) and password (cactipw) to log on. Am I missing something here. THe error message I receive when trying to log onto cacti via the browser is: Invalid User Name/Password Please Retype. The error I receive when trying to log onto MySql is:

Could not connect to the specified instance.
MySQL Error Number 1045
Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
If you want to check the network connection, please click the Ping button.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks...

Forget it ... I got it working. I had the passwords mixed up and now I'm able to log into cacti. I was also seeing the graphs not displayed properly but just applied the NTFS permissions fix. I hope that does it..

Re-read the post-installation instructions and make sure ALL of the steps regarding PHP in IIS have been completed.

PHP has encountered an Access Violation at .....

Post by davidatsl »

Your installer (1.5) worked well for me but every so often I get a "PHP has encountered an Access Violation at ..." message.

This seems to be a known bug with php 5.2.1.x and that is documented at http://forums.cacti.net/about18917.html

The suggestion is to revert to PHP version 5.1.6 but that is harder to accomplish than it might seem, since your installer handled the original 5.2.1.x install for PHP.

Is there a quick way to fix this? I tried renaming my php folder and putting a copy of php 5.1.6 there instead but that didn't work. This was probably due to some changes that your installer arranges that were not applied to my copy of 5.1.6.

I have reverted to 5.2.1.x for now.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Download the zip file version of php (it contains all the extensions), stop all IIS services, extract the zip file and overwrite your existing c:\php folder (except for php.ini!), start up IIS services. Thats it. From the command prompt type: php -m to verify the version and modules.
