Error prior to installing plugin architecture v2.4 on 0.8.7d

I've just been looking at this, and the official patch fails if the PA is installed, or the PA fails if the offical patch is installed, so presumably they are patching lines close to each other/the same.

I am doing a new PA for it.

if you have patch for the 0.8.7d with:
page_length_graph_view.patch

pls use the following pa :

http://forums.cacti.net/download.php?id=16863

pls test and feedback.

That's better!

Applied the official Cacti patches, then this one and everything went through fine.

Hi,

I have 0.8.7d with v2.4 on Centos5.
Syslog-ng and php plugin was done and worked well but had to back out due to load. Will move to new host soon for that.

As I try to do PA install, I am getting a slightly different output on;

did not do any better...

What needs to be corrected before I can go for it.
I have added quite a few devices on it already...

Many thanks in Adv. for your help!

Cheers,

to gundalba,

I have just test it in debian and ubuntu.

And it should can be working with that install with the orig 0.8.7d.gz from cacti.net by hand. but that installed with the os.

Sorry but I don't quite follow you, are you saying this is OS (Centos) issue? If so, any solution or walk-around to this?

Thanks!

# patch -p1 -N --dry-run < cacti-plugin-0.8.7d-PA-v2.4.diff
:
patching file lib/functions.php
Hunk #2 FAILED at 1653.
:
patching file lib/html.php
Hunk #2 FAILED at 143.
:

Looked at both php file dates and the file dates are same as others in the same folder....

# lal lib/functions.php lib/html.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 82736 Jan 26 05:31 lib/functions.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 33425 Jan 26 05:31 lib/html.php

Q1) Does this means patch on these should not affect all the changes that is already made on my Cacti installation?

Also noted from DryRun ouput;
:
1 out of 8 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file lib/html.php.rej

Q2) Hoped to see some clue from above rej file but it is not even there. Guess it never gets created due to "DryRun"?

Q3) Finally, if I apply the patch and ends up screwing up sth., is there any back-out pass that I can prepare/follow?

Thanks,

On a dry run, rej files are not created (well, it's really dry!). You may analyze the rej file after a normal run and move it into the new code. I did so, it was a bit tricky because it's a very long line of code. The rej is due to previously applied patches not taken into account by standard PIA 2.4

Thanks for the insight on this Gandalf.
So with bunch of devices already on the monitoring, it is safe to go on and proceed with installation of PA?
I would really hate to loose all that configurations I already worked on as it took me quite a time to get all those up and on the monitoring...

Cheers,

IMHO it's save. I did so. And it does not affect MySQL in any way.

Hi,

I have just installed on a RedHat server 5 cacti-0.8.7d and cacti-plugin-0.8.7d-PA-v2.4.

Any idea ?

Thanks

Problem solved

Do you have your tabs at the top?

I installed plugins, and enabled admin to have access to it, but discovery, nor monitor are working, I get no tabs nothing.
