1 Overview This document is a procedure to setup CACTI on a PC/Server with Windows 2000 OS.

2 Requirements The following files are required download to install CACTI:

1 WAMP (Windows Apache MySQL PHP) 2.0c http://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php or http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=116092

2 RRDTool 1.2.28 http://www.gknw.net/mirror/rrdtool/rrdtool-1.2.28-bin-w32.zip

3 Net-SNMP 5.4.2-1 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/net-snmp/net-snmp-5.4.2-1.win32.exe?modtime=1222072245&big_mirror=1

4 Cacti for Windows 0.8.7a http://www.cacti.net/downloads/cacti-0.8.7a.zip

5 Cron http://www.kalab.com/freeware/cron/cron.htm

The following files are optional

1 Cactid 0.8.6 http://www.cacti.net/downloads/cactid/packages/Windows/cacti-cactid-0.8.6k.zip

2 Spine 0.8.7a http://www.cacti.net/downloads/spine/packages/Windows/cacti-spine-0.8.7a.zip

3 Installing WAMP 2.0c

Start installing WAMP 2.0c by ‘double-click’ the installation icon, then the setup window will show. Follow the installation step as follow:

After the installation completed then verified by using your browser (ex. IE), put URL http://localhost and page will be shown like this

To verify the PHP you can click the phpinfo() from the homepage.

4 Installing Net-SNMP 5.4.2 Start installing Net-SNMP 5.4.2 by ‘double-click’ the installation icon, then the setup window will show. Follow the installation step as follow:

5 Installing RRDTool 1.2.28 Start installing RRDTool 1.2.28 by extrating the zip file (rrdtool-1.2.28-bin-w32.zip). Here’s the example by using winzip to extract the files.

RRDTool will have directory structure like C:\rrdtool-1.2.28-bin-w32\rrdtool. Then move rrdtool directory up to c:\wamp then remove rrdtool-1.2.28-bin-w32 directory until become structure C:\wamp\rrdtool

Copy font files (*.ttf) from C:\wamp\rrdtool to c:\winnt\fonts by execute the command: C:\wamp\rrdtool>copy *.ttf c:\winnt\fonts Or you can use windows explorer

To verify the rrdtools, execute rrdtool from rrdtool directory as follows:

6 Installing Cacti 0.8.7a Cacti 0.8.7a can be installed by extrating the cacti zip file (cacti-0.8.7a.zip). Here’s the example by using winzip to extract the files.

7 Post-Installation

7.1 Apache setup

Edit apache alias

7.2 MySQL Setup

7.2.1 Updating Root password (optional)

It is recommended to set a password for the root user, but if you don’t want you, you can skip to next step. shell> cd mysql\bin

shell> mysqladmin --user=root password somepassword

shell> mysqladmin --user=root --password reload

7.2.2 Create the MySQL database

Execute command below to create cacti database c:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.0.51b\bin>mysqladmin --user=root --password create cacti

or

7.2.3 Import the default Cacti database Execute command below to create cacti database: c:\wamp\apps\cacti-0.8.7a>c:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.0.51b\bin\mysql --user=root [--password] cacti < cacti.sql

i.sql

7.2.4 Create a MySQL username and password for Cacti.

Execute command below o create a MySQL username & password for cacti: shell> mysql --user=root --password mysql

mysql> GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO cactiuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'somepassword';

mysql> flush privileges;

If you are running MySQL 4.1 and above, you will need to apply the old password setting in order to authenticate with Cacti. To make this change, stop the MySQL service and add the following to the Start Parameter field. Start it again once it has been added.

--old-password

You will also need to update the cactiuser account with the

old password style. shell> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = OLD_PASSWORD('cactiuser')

WHERE Host = 'localhost' AND User = 'cactiuser';

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

7.3 Cacti Setup

7.3.1 Updating Cacti config file

Edit cacti config file (C:\wamp\apps\cacti-0.8.7a\include\config.php) to reflect MySQL cacti database /* make sure these values refect your actual database/host/user/password */ $database_type = "mysql"; $database_default = "cacti"; $database_hostname = "localhost"; $database_username = "cactiuser"; $database_password = "cactiuser"; $database_port = "3306";

7.3.2 Web installation process Open browser (ex. IE) then put URL http://localhost/cacti . Installation opening page will be shown, then follow all the installation instruction process from the browser.

RRDTool Binary Path: C:/wamp/rrdtool/rrdtool.exe PHP Binary Path: C:/wamp/bin/php/php5.2.6/php.exe snmpwalk Binary Path: C:/wamp/netsnmp/bin/snmpwalk.exe snmpget Binary Path: C:/wamp/netsnmp/bin/snmpget.exe snmpbulkwalk Binary Path: C:/wamp/netsnmp/bin/snmpbulkwalk.exe snmpgetnext Binary Path: C:/wamp/netsnmp/bin/snmpgetnext.exe Cacti Log File Path: C:/wamp/apps/cacti-0.8.7a/log/cacti.log

Login with user/password = admin/admin, then replace with newpassword if necessary.

7.4 Install SNMP Agent on Windows 2000

1 Select Add/Remove Windows Components

1 Setup SNMP Open Services from Control Panel -> Administrative Tools

Verify

Snmpwalk –v2c –c public localhost 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1
