i have an running cacti 0.6.8 on Win2k/IIS/MySQL server with lot of graphs..(sometimes there are hole in graph but it work...)

i have try to install Cacti 0.8 preRelease (the last one 06 april 03). i setup config.php with my cacti database settings. when i launch cacti..install step.ok i select upgrade from cacti 0.6.8, first in path verification step..the wwwroot path is wrong (\ in place of /).ok all is ok click next. importing database, saving old database..but it seem nothing really done. (nothing new in database only version string changed to "cacti 0.8..." and no backup database).
after this cacti seem to work but no menu work..only blank page..ok.
import does not work at this time.
i create new database, import cacti.sql, reinstall cacti0.8 with new settings..i do setup (this time it work fine). i go to cacti..i can see great new things ..i create graph to ucd snmp 4.0 to monitor traffic on my lan. ok ..i wait few hours..(cmd.php is launch in background) ..i go to graph page....nothing...browser seem to wait something...but nothing come...
it seem there is probleme with graph generation.. but all work with cacti0.6.8 and the path are good..

i don't know where is the problem..

could you help me ?

Yeah man......i got the same problem.
No problems what so ever during the install. Can setup graphs perfectly. Every 5 minutes during the polling i see it's making the .rrd files, but when i go to the graphs page nothing happens......it just keeps loading and nothing's coming.

Lucky i still got my 0.6.8a install running.......=)

It prob. one of two things If I had to guess,

1) Cmd.php isn't running correctly from cron

2) If you are running net-snmp, there is a new checkbox in the conf that needs to be checked.

The "it just keeps loading and nothing's coming" problem sounds almost exactly like the bug I found in PHP.

It seems that everyone has been able to re-produce this but it doesn't appear to be fixed yet

The only workaround for this problem that I have found is to run PHP in CGI mode rather than ISAPI.

Also, in case you are wondering why 0.6.8 doesn't seem to be affected by this problem, it is actually because of a bug in cacti

. Let's hope that the PHP developers get on the ball and fix this one.
