Plugin Architecture v2.1 for Cacti v0.8.7b

[TheWitness]

There is likely a switch to show only "changed" files. Do a man on it.

Well, since I have the very same problem ... the attached .tar includes a directory diff, with subdirectories. For each file in cacti-plugin-arch/files-0.8.7b, I ran sdiff filename /usr/share/cacti/site/filename (this is the default website location for the Ubuntu package). Hoping this will help. I can play guinea pig for any patched patch files. I'm a better Cisco jockey than Linux guru, but I can follow directions well enough.

Thanks gentlemen for a great piece of OSS.

Month and a half later, any updates or resolution to this Ubuntu error with global.php line 194 hunk?

[Exo7]

I made a custom patch for plugin architecture 2.1 / Cacti 0.8.7b on a Debian Lenny system. It solves the global.php patching part on my Debian systems. It might work on Ubuntu too, but in either case you should do a dry run and backup your site/ directory.

After patching, edit the global.php file and add your own plugins (note that thold is enabled)

I only tested the patch on a couple of virtual machine, I will do more testing when I have time.

[MorbidDK]

I ended up just applying the patch using the pre-patched files manually, rather than using the diff to patch the files.

Have just tried the .diff file on a brand new cacti installation and was getting problems when I moved away from the main page. Restored my directory and then used the pre-patched files and this worked fine - maybe a problem with the .diff?

This blew up my Cacti install as well. Had to roll back.

The diff went nuts:

So much for easy on this one.

Damn I've had the same problem using the stock PIA 2.1 Diff file on Ubuntu 8.04 Server.

The Cacti install is 0.8.7b from the Ubuntu repository.

Damn I've had the same problem using the stock PIA 2.1 Diff file on Ubuntu 8.04 Server.

The Cacti install is 0.8.7b from the Ubuntu repository.

Well, I found another post about upgrading from PIA 2.0 to 2.1 by just seeing which files are changing and just copying them over. This worked well for me and is a better option since I have modified cacti core files.

I'll update this reply when I find that post.

[TFC]

Ubuntu 8.04 and PIA now work well. BUT!!
Spine does not work with these couple..
Any idea about that?

[chet]

Just jumping on the back of this if you don't mind.

I'm looking for the files that replace version 0.8.7b, I have ran XXXXXX which went OK so I just need to replace the files now

I looked in http://www.cacti.net/downloads/patches/0.8.6b/ but that did not give me the files that go in to the includes and lib directory.

Hope you can help

Thanks

Chet
