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

[BSOD2600]

Just re-tested the installer on a clean WinXP SP3 VM. Ran the installer, followed post-install, rebooted, and then tried the website which worked as expected.

Following directions is key to a successful install.

A small request..

I ran the installer once choosing only the Cacti essential components.

Now I want to install some plugins so when I am running it again it is saying that it will overwrite all configurations.

Can you add a "modify" feature to the installer so that components can be added/removed at a later stage too?

[BSOD2600]

Possibly. It's a slippery slope though since a user could've modified the various paths since the installer was last ran. Far too hard to try and detect all of the paths required, which is why a Modify option has not been added.

I'll look into it.

I have the 0.8.7b version already installed using the windows installer, and now I want to either upgrade or make a new installation for the latest 0.8.8a. The issue is: how can I keep/backup my graphs raw data (I may rebuild the graphs again, but just need to keep the history data)

Thank you

[BSOD2600]

Per the first post, follow the upgrade guide for backing up the database, scripts, and rrd files before installing the new version.

Hi
This is my first post. I have the Cacti sw running fine on a W2K3 box using the cacti installer.

My query is : is there a way to use my Cacti server to make WMI queries against Windows boxes?

(I have seen references to a WMI plugin for Cacti on Linux but none so far for Cacti on Windows. Such software will save me needing to install the snmp informant on any Windows boxes I want to monitor.)

regards
Derek

Hmmm ... to answer my own question! - I found this link that may fit the bill : http://forums.cacti.net/about13562.html with subject "At last - Windows Services monitoring with WMI!"

I'll read up on this. Any other ideas please let me know ...

cheers
Derek

Cacti installed correctly. For us newbies, though, in your post-installation documentation c:\cacti\apache2\htdocs\cacti\docs\html\post-install.html, would you please add the following:

"To access the Cacti home screen, in your browser, type http://localhost/cacti ."

Thank you.

"To access the Cacti home screen, in your browser, type http://localhost/cacti ."

Done for the next release.

Hi,
I have followed instructions in self installer but have an issue with Web Browser. I get "page cannot be found" HTTP error 404.
IIS is running.
I uninstalled and reinstalled this time using Apache. It only installed Apache and not the PHP directory.
I uninstalled again and re-installed without plug-ins using IIS again. IIS is running, MySQL is installed and scheduled task is created.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Just tried to install this (my first time) on a fresh Win7 Pro SP1 64 bit. Needed to install IIS and CGI first.
The following error occurred (snipped from log):

Output folder: C:\Users\Operator\AppData\Local\Temp\nsv4CE8.tmp
Launching MySQL x64 5.5.27 Installer...
Extract: mysql.msi... 100%
Execute: msiexec /i "C:\Users\Operator\AppData\Local\Temp\nsv4CE8.tmp\mysql.msi" /qn USERNAME="Valued Cacti Customer"
MySQL installer exited with: 1603
* FATAL ERORR *
Error reading MySQL install location

Any ideas?

P.S. - Yes error (erorr) is spelled wrong in the log.

Tried to install mysql itself and got a more robust error message:
"Could not access network location \Hewlett-Packard\\"
Googled it, fixed the registry and away we go.

What registry key was required to be fixed? Link?

I'll be releasing an updated installer once the next Cacti is released.
