cactid on Windows

[Headbanger]

I recently installed cacti and trying to get cactid to work, because polling using cmd.php takes to long.

i downloaded the latest cactid-binaries and configured it like documented.
but when i run "php c:\cacti\poller.php" i get the attached output.

and last line "Waiting on 9/9 pollers." is a endless loop.

-------------------------------

in addition starting cactid like "c:/cactid/cactid.exe 20 20" just brings out the following output

CACTID: Using cactid config file [cactid.conf]
CACTID: ☻☻

--------------------------------

in the Cacti-log i can see

03/06/2007 08:30:10 AM - SYSTEM STATS: Time:292.9549 Method:cactid Processes:10 Threads:15 Hosts:9 HostsPerProcess:1 DataSources:348 RRDsProcessed:0

--------------------------------

my environment is

MySQL 5.0.27
PHP 4.4.4
Cacti 0.8.6.i
Cygwin 1.5.24


Thanx for any help

i found the problem ....
i inserted the read ip-address of the system into the cactid.conf file.
after changing this to 127.0.0.1 cactid is running.

This fixed the cactid problem for me, however it still does this with cmd.php. changing localhost to 127.0.0.1 in includes/config.php did not fix cmd.php

I downgraded to PHP 5.2.0 and I believe this fixed it.
