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

[smlick]

Yes the standard upgrade procedure is an obviously step but I want to know if I have to uninstall/delete all the package out of Cacti (Net-SNMP, mySQL, PHP, etc. etc.) before install the new version or I could start the update (after the upgrade procedure) directly (no uninstall).

Alessio

No need to remove the installer. Its simply a way to jump-start users getting their Cacti environment up and running. Just install the new cacti files over the existing (after you've backed everything up).

I tried to install it on Windows 2008 and noticed the errors from the instalaltion log...

Configuring IIS with PHP...
IIS7: Adding FastCGI
ERROR ( message:Cannot find SITE object with identifier "Files\Cacti\php\php-cgi.exe']". )
IIS7: Adding FastCGI Handler
ERROR ( message:Cannot find SITE object with identifier "Files\Cacti\php\php-cgi.exe',resourceType='Either']". )
IIS7: Adding default document
ERROR ( message:New add object missing required attributes. Cannot add duplicate collection entry of type 'add' with unique key attribute 'value' set to 'index.php'
. )

Could someone throw some light?

Did you install cacti into \program files\? If so, no good. Cacti does not like spaces in the path. This is why the default install point is c:\, where various components will then be based off of.

The installer tries to compensate for the brokeness of the PHP installer (which the Cacti installer invokes silently). Thus, the cacti installer tries to add the various bits into IIS -- which the PHP installer might have already done.

When you installed IIS, did you add the FastCGI component? If not, you should (since it's better to use fastcgi instead of isapi for Vista or better) and then re-run either Cacti or the PHP 5.2.9 installer.

Thanks a lot...installing in a different folder without spaces worked without any issue.
Installer tested on Windows 2008 also

BSOD2600, thanks for the updated installer. I am learning Cacti on a couple XP boxes. I recently started over on one of them with the new installer build and don't see the APC statistics for apcupsd anymore. Did you deliberately not include them in this build of the installer? I know from this thread http://forums.cacti.net/about30511.html that you were surprised that you had included them in a previous build of the installer. IMHO, http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=23552 was a nice addition to the installer, especially for us newbies.

[BSOD2600]

That is correct, I have removed all non-standard templates/scripts from the installer, since users were under the impression they were standard/official.

One can obviously manually install them. Once Cacti supports adding templates via the commandline, I'll make them an option in the installer.

Thank you very much BSOD2600. I got it working from your installer on a XP SP2 maachine fine.

I only had to amend the Windows scheduled task as it did not seem to want to run

Hi,
I'm new to Cacti. I've installed it today on my Windows XP SP2 but my graph doesn't show. When I turned on graph debug mode, it shows:

Please help!

camksp: Read http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=11747 and then create a new forum post. Make sure the IUSR_ account has read/execute permissions on rrdtool.exe and cmd.exe.

[camksp]

BSOD2600: Thanks for your reply. I post it here because I'm using your installer.

I see an error at RRDToo Version under Technical Support, saying that:

ERROR: Installed RRDTool version does not match configured version.
Please visit the Configuration Settings and select the correct RRDTool Utility Version.

RRDTool was installed from your installer packet. Under Utilities/Generial, the selected RRDToll Utilities Version is RRDTool 1.2.x. How to fix this error?

I'm very appriciated with your help.

BSOD2600: Thanks for your reply. I post it here because I'm using your installer.

Agreed, but the installer isn't broken....

1) Did you follow my last post and check the NTFS permissions?
2) Is this a clean install of Windows or something in a work environment, where there are likely group policies / extra security measures in place?

[camksp]

BSOD2600: I made it works now. The problem is the permission ofn cmd.exe. I must allow the modify NTFS permisson to Internet Guest Account.

Thank to your Installer and your support.

Can you point me to the right link on how to make it capture data every 1 minute?

[BSOD2600]

What security accounts were on cmd.exe before you reset them?

Can you point me to the right link on how to make it capture data every 1 minute?

Read in the documentation site. Basically just change the polling/cron interval to 1 min.

[camksp]

Default are:
Administrators: Full
SYSTEM: Full
Power User: Read & Execute
Users: Read & Execute

Fist added are (that was not work):
IIS_WPG (DomainName\IIS_WPG): Mondify
Internet Guest Account (DomainName\IUSR_ServerName)

Final added and works:
Internet Guest Account (ComputerName\IUSR_ComputerName)

(My Cacti is install on WinXP, under my domain)

I can get my graph capture data every 1 minute.

Thanks
