[Solved] Cacti Install

[Christopher Blair]

I have just ran thru the instructions that i found at http://bsod2600.home.comcast.net/~bsod2 ... stallation

When i get to the point where i test out the install i get a nice http error 404 - File or directory not found. I have gone thru the instructions twice now, and cant find anything wrong. Any suggestions?

please read http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=11747 and post your info.

what happens if you try http://localhost/cacti/index.php ?

Operating System: windows 2003 sp2
Webserver: IIS 6
Cacti: 0.8.7b
Spine: Not installed yet
MySQL: 5.0.51a
PHP: 5.2.5
RRDTool (Cygwin or Win32 version): cygwin 1.2.27
Net-SNMP: not installed yet
Cygwin (cygwin1.dll version): 1.5.25-cr-0x5f1
Plugin Architecture:

if i browse out to http://localhost/cacti/index.php i get the same error directory or file not found. If i create a test.htm in the cacti dir... i can open that from http://localhost/cacti/test.htm

when i tried to use cygwin to patch cacti... it just ran in a loop continually making new files but never doing anything else.

1) When you run: php -m from the command prompt, any errors?

2) double check the NTFS permissions for your /cacti/ folder, following the instructions in my guide.

3) inetpub/wwwroot/cacti/index.php DOES exist, right?

Error in my_thread_global_end(): 2 threads didn't exit

index.php does exist in inetpub/wwwroot/cacti/

checked my permissions... they all check out.

one thing that might be worth noting. when i am going thru the sql db changes. It always tells me query successful. 0 rows modified.

Well the fact you're getting a 404, means the web server can't find the file....

Create file called phpinfo.php and place it in your /cacti/ directory

Code: Select all

<?php
// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();
?>

Does that page work? If not, then sounds like you have something misconfigured with PHP and IIS -- or that my_thread_global_end issue is affecting stuff. Plenty on google about that one.

i gave up fighting it... i started clean and downloaded your beta installer... worked like a charm... now i just need to figure out how to make some graphs.

Though one thing i found out wasnt installed was snmp.
