Fatal error after installing the Plugin Architecture - Ubunu

ne0trace · Post by **ne0trace** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 6:17 pm

Hello,
After installing the PA I am having troubles using cacti. Cacti asked me if I wanted to upgrade or reinstall cacti after installing PA. I've chosen both options which sooner or later take me to a login window which asks for my username and password. But there is no field for entering a password!!!
And the page gives me the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function clean_html_output() in /usr/share/cacti/site/auth_login.php on line 307

The login window looks crippled too.

Any ideas?

System: Ubuntu LTS 8.04
latest version of cacti
i've copied over cacti from the "files" dircetory as patching didn't seem to do anything

thanks

2.4 is designed for Cacti 0.8.7c and above. Don't apply full files to prior releases. It won't work.

PA 2.4 is designed only for Cacti 0.8.7d, it will not work on 0.8.7c.

What version are you running?

Oh now i realized that I don't have the newest version. I'm sorry for that. My version is 0.8.7b and I installed it through apt-get. Which would be the easiest/safest way to update?

One way you can upgrade is to download the full tar of 0.8.7d and overwrite your exsiting files. Change the settings in global.php, and then test to ensure it's working.

Once you've got this far, you should be able to either patch the PIA in, or overwrite the files.

Worked...
But I had to put a symlink for rrd as ubuntu places it under /var/lib/. It then worked like charm.

Thanks for your help

Hello,

I had the same. How did you make the sym link?

Thanks!

Odd - if you installed this from packages originally, the symlink should already be there ?

Hello mcutting,

I upgraded Cacti like you said but now i see now graphs. Do I need a symlink or do you've got an other idea?

How do you make a symlink for rrd?

Thanks!!!

Sounds more like an issue with your RRA directory in terms of permissions. Try chown -R www-data /usr/share/cacti/site/rra. You may also need to grant write access for the www-data account to the RRA folder.

Check permissions on /usr/share/cacti/site/rra directory - chances are only root owns it, and is allowed to write to it.

Hey,
I did the following:

ln -s /var/lib/cacti/rra/ /usr/share/cacti/site/

I hope this helps
