Before Installing CACTI on Windows Computer /Windows Server there is some Prerequisite:

Software Prerequisite:
Step1: Install XAMPP
Step2: Install Cacti Server
Step3: Configuring Database and Settings
Step4: Install RRD-Tool and net-SNMP
Step5: cacti post-installation settings


Step1: Install XAMPP and settings
WARN:
1.It is highly recommended to set your system Date, Time, and ZONE
according to your country time, and zone.
2.XAMPP installation will be successful only if you have set the correct date, time, and zone
Under WINDOWs and PHP.
https://www.php.net/manual/en/timezon...


Once you have finished XAMPP installation you must change
Time & date under XAMPP Registry
I have already set my systems time and date I am going to change only the XAMPP time and date for PHP

3.Open Drive C: edit php.ini configuration file located in
C:\xampp\php\ (file name (php) configuration setting)
Once you have changed the time& date must be restarted XAMPP

Probably your 3306 or whatever you use is being used by other applications. Maybe you don't know that XAMPP usually has problems with apps like Skype. If you are running Skype try to close it and open XAMPP. You can also change default ports for HTTP and MySQL.
To Edit Apache ports open apache. conf and restart the server.
To Edit MySql ports open my.cnf and restart the service.


Step2: Import cacti folder under XAMPP register
File path: C:\xampp\htdoc

Step3: Create database and set DB name cacti
Import the cacti.sql file into MySQL database
NOTE:
Apache server did not open webpage if you have faced this error
You must change apache port

Step4:
Edit the cacti database settings located in
C:\xampp\htdocs\cacti\include

Step5:
Open any web browser enter the IP address of your PC
http://127.0.0.1:8090/cacti
default username: admin
default password: admin

flush privileges;

Note: if you did not fix SQL time and date errors you are still stuck then
