Windows Installer [Cacti 1.1.13] [Updated 2017-07-15]

BSOD2600 · **Posted:** Thu Jul 20, 2006 3:20 pm

Description
I've put together an all-inclusive Windows installer for Cacti. It's been tested on Windows 7/8/2008R2/2012R2/2016. This is only meant for new installations where you have no existing components installed (i.e. Cacti, MySQL, Apache, PHP). 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 Apache/MySQL/PHP/Net-SNMP, 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 for errors. Lastly, to upgrade Cacti, follow this guide.

Release Notes
--2017-07-15 (v3.10)
* Upgrade Cacti/Spine to 1.1.13
* Upgrade Cygwin to 2.8.2
* Upgrade PHP to 7.0.21
* Upgrade Apache to 2.4.27

Good afternoon,

Thanks for posting the installer. I had spent the better part of the last two days banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why I couldn't get the web interface to work (various php error messages), then I ran the installer and I was in the web interface after a reboot. Great!

The problem I am having right now is when I try to run php c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\poller.php from the prompt, I get the following error:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:\php\ext\php_snmp.dll' - The specified module could not be found.
in Unknown on line 0
OK u:0.01 s:0.01 r:5.05

Processes:1 Threads:N/A Hosts:4 HostsPerProcess:4 DataSources:2 RRDsProcessed:1

I checked to make sure that .dll file does exist and that the user account I'm logged in with has permissions for it. Any suggestions on what I can check? Thanks!

Try a chkdsk c: /f. I've run into this problem before a while ago and that was a fix.

Thanks for the response, unfortunately that did not seem to resolve the issue - while I was looking at the problem again I found an error message that managed to get behind the 50 other windows I had open complaining about not being able to find msvcr71.dll. I grabbed it off the net and stuffed it in c:\php and the error went away. I'll keep an eye on it and let you know if I have any other trouble. Thanks!

rallen: What OS? Not really sure why you need that dll. Msvcr71.dll for Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003 with the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. I've tested this installer on a fresh install of XP Pro and didn't get that error.

Slaktarn: You notice in the last screenshot that SNMP Error? That is likely the cause of all your problems. Fix that and you should get graphs.

It's 2000 Server. I'm sure if I played with one of our 2003 boxes I wouldn't have gotten that error either, but we don't have any around that I can crash test stuff with at the moment.

Hmm, alright. Guess I'll set up a Win2K VM when I get home and test it too. Do you have .NET 1.1 framework installed?

No, you haven't properly configured SNMP on your server. Make sure there is a community and allowed IPs.

I have gotten this before when testing on windows 2000 and 2003.

This worked to fix it on both of them

Code:

CACLS %COMSPEC% /E /G %COMPUTERNAME%\IUSR_%COMPUTERNAME%:R

You may have to actually substitute your real computername for the %COMPUTERNAME% variable. This basically just sets read permissions for the IIS user for cmd.exe. The /E flag tells it to edit the permissions instead of just overriding them, and the /G flag means "Grant" permissions.
