The Easiest Way to Install Cacti on Windows

This is the easiest way to install cacti-0.8.8a in windows. Just install file cacti installer for Windows, then cacti and all the needed files will be installed automatically. Thank you who has made the cacti installer.
cacti installer windows

Below a complete description of the cacti installer. I quote from the cacti forum.

Description
I've put together an all-inclusive Windows installer for Cacti. It's been tested on Windows XP/2003/2008/Vista/7.
This is only meant for new installations where you have no existing components installed (i.e. Cacti, MySQL, Apache, etc). It installs the latest versions of all needed applications in their default locations (per the install guide), configures them, and should give you a fully functional Cacti.

This installer lets you choose between using IIS or Apache web server. It'll also install 64bit versions of MySQL, Net-SNMP, and FastCGI where applicable. Disable your anti-virus for the installer -- it runs some special scripts that configure IIS, MySQL, files and NTFS permissions. Some AV scanners block these events from occurring.

Don't forget to follow the post-install instructions and restart the server before trying to access the Cacti website! After the installer is done, you can check cacti-installer.log and the various install logs in your /cacti/log directory for errors. Lastly, to upgrade Cacti, follow this guide, since the installer is not meant for upgrading.

Known Issues
* MySQL cannot connect to server with IPv6 using hostname or IPv4 address. MySQL Bug #52381.
Release Notes
--2.01 2012-09-13

    Works beautifully. Thank you!! I originally attempted to install each dependency using Cacti's instructions (4 pages worth) and in the end was not able to get it working. Found this page, tried your installer and works perfectly. No errors, no problems. I am now polling 5 of my routers. Thanks again for taking the time to put this together, nice work.

    Hi,

    I have installed the Cacti on windows 8.1 to monitor Cisco router and so far the CPU and interface utilization has been successfully monitored, but I can't monitor the memory usage. I have tried the template from Erica A. Hall but apparently the template doesn't support the version of Cacti mention in this blog (v 0.8.8a).

    Can you help me where I can the Cisco Memory template for Cacti v0.8.8a?

    Thanks in advance.


    Best regards,
    Yedi
