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. I've put together an all-inclusive Windows installer for Cacti. It's been tested on Windows XP/2003/2008/Vista/7.
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.

* MySQL cannot connect to server with IPv6 using hostname or IPv4 address. MySQL Bug #52381.

its not working
ReplyDeleteI successfully tested the cacti installer in windows 7 (no need to reboot) and in windows xp SP3 (need to reboot). For the other windows, I have not tried.
Deletethanks its working, do you have installer for linux ??
ReplyDeletecactiez, look at here... http://myconfigure.blogspot.com/2013/02/cactiez-cacti-make-easy.html
DeleteGraphs not working, I just install the setup. Kindly help using window 7.
ReplyDeletecould you send me the error ? paste the error here..
Deletemay cacti working but no traffic graph show only empty graph box showing
ReplyDeletemaybe snmpd not running
Deleteso.. how we do, to make snmpd running back ?
Deleteif showing no traffic graph, at localhost or interface ethernet computer.. that's mean snmpd not running or no installed... in windows xp, install snmp service, like this.
Delete1. insert windows xp.
2. go to control panel.
3. click add remove programs - add/remove windows components
4. in windows components wizard box, select Management and Monitoring Tools, click details
5. check Simple Network Management Protocol, then click ok
6. back to windows components wizard, click next... wait... then click finish...
7. restart
hi..i do follow you already.. why in device , local : unknow ,??
Deletedo you mean, status localhost is unknown ???
Deleteif you have installed snmp service, reboot... and wait 5 - 10 minutes... status should be up...
the important is, if you click localhost... you will be find information about snmp... (not snmp error anymore) ...
yes you right. the snmp not show the error message any more. but still unknow . don't know why ? , even localhost.. thx u
Deleteone more thing , i found that, the localhost not show the snmp error , but the a new host i create show message snmp error.. ? so...
DeleteIt's mean not installed snmp agent. Each node or interface to be monitored or made a chart, the SNMP agent has to be installed. What is snmp agent?. SNMP agent, tasked to collect all the information about the node / interface, then sends that information to the master SNMP (net-snmp installed automatically when installing cacti) and will be creating a chart, by a NMS (cacti)
DeleteHi, i got same issue on the status of the device being "unknown." Graphs are marked "x" and it wont display. I have activate the snmp in my windows xp. I have added a router and same thing - no error but no graph and status unknown. I assue snmp agent of my router is working since its working from my last prtg software.

I think it's happened because of permission in windows server. try to reinstall with user administrator....
DeleteWorks 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.

DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI 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
