Install the application under c:\cacti folder.Īs we have installed Cygwin delete all the dll files and the sh.exe file from that folder.įinally, edit the file nf with the information about the database so you have something similar to this: DB_Host localhostįor the remaining applications net-snmp, rrdtool and activeperl just install them with the defaults as they don’t need specific configurations. The following are the packages you need to install from Cygwin:Īfter you finished installing those application add the following entry to the PATH enviroment variable c:\cygwin\bin Spine To display all the tables in the cacti database (but this is optional and only do it if you want to make sure stuff is inside the database). Create a user with the following command inside the mysql database: mysql> GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO IDENTIFIED BY 'password' Īfter we have created the database we have to import the default database that comes with the cacti distribution using the following command from the command prompt (you need to exit the sql database): mysql -u root -p cacti SHOW TABLES
#Install cacti on windows server 2016 password#
You can check that the database was created by using the command: mysql> SHOW DATABASES Īfter we have a working and setup database we will need to create a username and password for cacti to use when connecting to the cacti database. This command will prompt you for the root password of the SQL database.įirst of all we need to create a database for Cacti to use, with the command: mysql> CREATE DATABASE cacti Once you installed MySQL connect to the SQL database using the following command. At the end you should have something like this: $database_type = "mysql"

Inside that folder go the the folder Include and then edit the file config.php with the information about the mysql database. Create a new variable called MIBDIRS and add the value c:\php\extras\mibsĮxtract the cacti application inside a folder in the htdocs directory of the Apache webserver.Create a new variable called PHPRC and add the value c:\php.If you want to be able to import templates uncomment this line:Īdd the following windows system environment variables (right-click My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced Tab -> Enviroment Variables Button): Open that file and edit or uncomment the following parts: doc_root = "c:\Apache\htdocs" Inside that folder is going to be a file called php.ini-dist, copy that file and rename it to php.ini. Once you finishing editing just save the file and restart the Apache service. LoadModule php5_module "C:/php/php5apache.dll"Īdd the index.php to the DirectoryIndex entry so you have something similar to this: ĭirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.phpĪddType application/x-httpd-php-source. Once you have installed Apache and PHP add the following lines to the nf file under the conf directory. Install it under C:\Apache as the default location in the installation file is under C:\Program Files\ but if you put it there is going to be a nightmare to make cacti to work properly so just trust me (I did that silly mistake myself). Just an advice, before you install Apache.

#Install cacti on windows server 2016 how to#
I used version 1.2.15 (this was the latest precompiled version of rrdtool and as usual at that moment I didn’t feel like investigating how to compile the sources in windows. There is at this moment version 5.10 but I had problems with it but it works perfectly OK with version 5.8.8 This is a list of required applications (the version are actually the ones I used in this installation): This tutorial is based on the tutorial in the actual cacti website on how to install Cacti under windows, you can find here. There is also SNMP support for those used to creating traffic graphs with MRTG. Along with being able to maintain Graphs, Data Sources, and Round Robin Archives in a database, cacti handles the data gathering. In my defense, I will plan to install Cacti in this server at some point so I will have a tutorial on how to install it in BSD once I done it.įor anyone that doesn’t know what Cacti is here is an excerpt from the Cacti website that explains what it is:Ĭacti is a complete frontend to RRDTool, it stores all of the necessary information to create graphs and populate them with data in a MySQL database.

Installation of Cacti in windows Filed Under: Networks Introductionīefore you start complaining and thinking that I’m gone mad and I moved back to windows and I’m just a windows guy and all the stuff, let me explain.īasically, I would have love to have done this in a Linux or BSD machine but the only thing I had available at work was a windows PC and at that time I couldn’t be bother to install Linux or BSD on it because I was a bit lazy at that moment and I just wanted to get the application working.
