Windows All-In-One Installer [Cacti 1.2.24] [Updated 2023-03-09]

[nweibel]

BSOD2600,

Do you have a way to upgrade Apache 2.4.37 to 2.4.38 in your package installer?

Thanks,

[Erudes1991]

Hi, I have tried this installer as I was not able to run the software successfully on Linux:

viewtopic.php?f=21&t=59607&p=277117#p277117

I was able to install everything correctly, with Apache on Windows 10, however, when trying to access graphs I get this:



It must be permissions that are not set properly. Task Scheduler shows Cacti task runs succesfully.

My other thread on the Linux side has a similar error as well.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Stop apache service
Extract httpd-2.4.38-win64-VC15.zip contents into the current c:\Apache24\ folder.
start apache service.

Hi
Yesterday I tested with version 1.2.1 and everything worked perfectly and plan to use it.

And today I found a new version 1.2.2 and tried to install it. It is not as easy to use as in version 1.2.1, which I know that the problem is that it cannot connect to the database And I can't fix it.

So I went back to install version 1.2.1 and it was not able to use as well as yesterday. And there was an error like version 1.2.2
I noticed that there was a problem, unable to connect to the database during the installation of the program.

Is there a simple solution for beginners?
I have tried many different methods in the post and have failed.

Thanks

The problem seems to be that the username/password supplied isn't valid for MySQL.

[lboyd]

I just can't seem to figure it out. Fresh install of Winodws 7 Ultimate with all updates installed. Regardless of whether I use IIS or Apache I can't get it to install. Windows Defender and Firewall disabled. It looks like the database file isn't being created.

Thanks,

I have the same problem installing on Windows 7 Ultimate.

Now on Windows 7, I used cacti version 0.8.8h and worked perfectly

I just can't seem to figure it out. Fresh install of Winodws 7 Ultimate with all updates installed. Regardless of whether I use IIS or Apache I can't get it to install. Windows Defender and Firewall disabled. It looks like the database file isn't being created.

Thanks,

[netniV]

Was the MySQL service installed and running?

[lboyd]

MySQL is installed, but when the installed tries to start it there's a service doesn't exist error.

Leo

[netniV]

Does it appear in your services list? Run services.msc to get to it quickly.

[BSOD2600]

The error is actually occurring within the MySQL installer itself. Unfortunately, this is not the first time this issue has been encountered (if one looks on the MySQL forum, you'll find hints of this for months). Their latest web installer (which is what the cacti windows installer uses) downloads the latest code and has a bug.

Looks like I'll need to embed the previous full mysql installer for remediation. Will post when its been done and tested.

[netniV]

One other thing, I noticed that another user had an issue where their MySQL was listening only on IPv6, make sure that your setup is listening correctly and that your connection details are definitely using the correct address (ie, if it's IPv6, the host should be ::1 with port 3306, if it's ipv6 it's host 127.0.0.1 with port 3306)
