Tnx BSOD2600 for your work.
I used your installer in a Cacti production machine but I'm not able to collect SNMP query or I collect query but I get no graph (also if RRD is ok) with device that are not Cisco.
If I use "generic SNMP enable host" host template with Cisco ok but with other brand like Enterasys or Nortel something go wrong.
The strange is that I use "generic SNMP enable host" host template with another Cacti machine with a custom made install and all is ok.
Now a rollback is difficult I added yet a lot of device but I must add Nortel Enterasys and other brand.

Any idea
Please help me

A little update ................. Cisco ok, Enterasys E1 ok, Enterasys C2 no, Enterasys E7 no, Nortel switch no, Nortel Load Balancer no.

I don't understand why!!

Bye

smlick: please start a new thread detailing your problems -- this thread is suppose to be for users with issues with the installer.

The host type simply associates different pre-made templates to the device for easier use. It changes nothing under the covers in terms of snmp, etc. Are you able to snmpwalk the Enterasys and Nortel switches FROM your cacti server successfully? Does cacti show them as up or down (snmp error)? Any firewalls blocking SNMP traffic to/from those switches?

Is there any way to install this beta installer on a different drive? Our C drive is almost full on this Windows 2003 machine.

Yes, you're given the option during the install.

Problem solved!!
There was a problem into the device SNMP configuration........I don't know why I was able to graph with the Virtual one and not with the Production but after a review of the SNMP config inside Enterasys and Nortel.......all ok!!

Tnx BSOD2600

I've started working on the next version of the installer, in preparation of the upcoming Cacti release. Unlike previous installers, this one will be using the php, mysql and... apache MSI installers, streamlined/preconfigured, which should help things. Yes, Apache will finally be made an option in the installer too.

I've decided to remove the MySQL Administrator tool, since it's not really required for Cacti. Keeping GetIf.

Any other tools / tweaks / templates ya'll would like to see in the installer? The plugin architecture will NOT be considered (until it's officially integrated of Cacti).

Thankyou for putting the time in to do this, BSOD2600

I installed your Windows Installer and yes I did read the documents that contain all the account usernames and passwords. My issue is when trying to launch the page i receive the message FATAL: Cannot connect to MySQL server on localhost. According to the troubleshooting guide I should go through it and use the GRANT ALL ON cacti command but I am not able to log into mysql with the supplied credentials. Any suggestions?

1) is mysql installed?
2) is mysql service running?
3) did you reboot the server yet?
4) what web server did you use?
5) what OS?
6) you're unable to login to mysql with root??

Yes MySQL is installed and running. I rebooted the server after installing the application. I am running IIS V6.0. It is running on Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2. Correct I am unable to log into mysql with the root or cactiuser. Basically if i pull up cmd prompt and try to get into SQL via c:\> mysql -u root -p cacti it will ask for the password for which i am using "cacti" which was the password specified on the documents. Basically if i check the logs i see the following error message. Not sure at this moment.
Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

1) Did you already have mysql installed?
2) Look at the \cacti\log\mysql_install_log.txt file, does it say it was installed correctly?
3) Look through your App/System Event Logs -- was php and mysql installed successfully?

Everything is working great now. The only issue i see is that for whatever reason it does not pull the descriptions from the interfaces and display them on the graphs. Rather than that the installer worked great. Thanks

I did re-install Cacti on a windows 2003 using the installer and during the installation process I choose IIS. However everthing in regards to the installation was ok and the scheduled task was set and the server rebooted but when I try to log into the Cacti website using http://localhost/cacti, it does not connect. I looked at the log and do not know why it is saying that my connection failed accoring to the log.
Any help in regards to resolving this issue will be appreciated. Below is the log
