Dears
I am tryin to install cacti under windows xp, and I've followed all the steps in the manual, but I couldn't find any .exe or .MSI package inside cacti folder, is the installing process only a copy paste in C:\cacti??

thanks Alot

Did you actually try the Windows installer from this forum ?

Have you done all steps described in the post-install?
You have to setup a scheduled task executing the polling process.

Dear And..

I attached you the apache server err log, you can take a look on. and i used the MSI package in installation which created a scheduled task automatically during the installation and I double checked that. it set to poll every 5min. I think from the err log that I have a problem in the RRD

Thank you guys

The RRD files are not existing.
It takes one poller run to create new RRD files, after that they will be updated with every cycle. I still have the feeling that you missed defining a scheduled task to run the poller automatically. Do you see the poller statistic in the Cacti log?

Best regards

Dear BSOD2600

the problem solved and sure by following your steps, also i turned the file system into FAT to get rid of the permissions bugs, and run the schedule task manually for one time only, after that everything just went smoothly...

Glad you solved it... but changing the filesystem to FAT is a really bad security move.

Well, I am thinking to revert back to the NTFS. but I need to back up my data first:-)
