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

[tim.shoemaker]

I get that when I install MySQL, the program needed to install before the Cacti installation.

Ah-ha. There we go.

No, you do not need to install MySQL. The installer does it ALL for you. Please uninstall mysql, the windows installer, and reboot. Then run the windows installer again.

The first page of the installer, simply lists those few services and their statuses for information sake only right now. Eventually, I'll have the installer do somethin different if MySQL is installed.

That was the fix! Thank you so much for the help! I can't wait to get everthing set up on it. Have a great day!

..okay, got the installer running and it fixed all my issues..

here is my question:

What is the root password to mysql now? ive tried userid root password cactipw as the default and no go.. i know i can get into the mysql administrator with cactiuser/cactipw but what about root? i am wanting to import a database backup and it wont let me as cactiuser

[BSOD2600]

The main passwords were listed in the last page of the installer. The root password is: cacti.

hay BSOD! When i try to work whit MySQL "Installed" before cacti will the php say that it missing mysql.. Why? And how can i fix it... Cuz it are installed and work whit Apache but will not work whit my IIS

[BSOD2600]

If you already have existing websites or mysql installed, the installer is not meant for you. Furthermore, it requires IIS to be installed. I strongly suggest you read my windows install guide instead to get Cacti installed.

[BSOD2600]

And it cant be so hard so fix it to work whit a allredy installed mysql.....

Possibly. As I stated previously, this installer right now is only meant for installing a clean system. I'd then have to deal with getting the root password, importing the cacti database, importing all of tweaks/scripts/templates I've already set up, etc. A pain in the butt basically.

Since you already have mysql installed, follow my installation guide instead.

Why not have the MySQL optional? That wuld be relly great.. Cuz many ppl allredy have MySQL

[BSOD2600]

Eventually MySQL will be. Right now it is not. One of the things users get hung up on is the MySQL tweaking needed for the 'old-passwords'. Once mysql becomes optional, then all the problems come back that this installer was trying to solve.

So the program works, but the graphs don't show any pictures. Any ideas?
Thanks,

What installer did you use? Did you go back and uninstall everything before re-installing it again?

Go to graph mangement, click on a graph, enable graph debugging. What is the error?

[tim.shoemaker]

I reinstalled the OS, then ran the Cacti install disk. Here is the error I get in debug mode.
