No offence, but these scripts sound off alarm bells in my head (kinda nice, it blocks out the voices).

There should be no reason to retrieve the cron, etc from a remote server. I can see in your own environment that would be useful, but it opens up the possibility of backdoors being put in.

if you don't trust the PA that is been modify and post on this forums,

so,
and I found that, if you install the pa (orig file) first and then patch that 3 patch for cacti, this does not need to modify any file.

Code: Select all

# install the Cacti 0.8.7e with PA-v2.5 on debian-linux
cd /tmp
wget http://www.cacti.net/downloads/cacti-0.8.7e.tar.gz
tar zxvf cacti-0.8.7e.tar.gz
cp -R ./cacti-0.8.7e/* /var/www/
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www

# patch the PA 2.5 for cacti 0.8.7e
cd /tmp
wget http://mirror.cactiusers.org/downloads/plugins/cacti-plugin-0.8.7e-PA-v2.5.zip -O cacti-plugin-0.8.7e-PA-v2.5.zip
unzip cacti-plugin-0.8.7e-PA-v2.5.zip
cd /var/www
patch -p1 -N < /tmp/cacti-plugin-0.8.7e-PA-v2.5.diff

Spine should go into /usr/sbin IMHO.

yes

Post by hatiras »

yes gandalf, i put "" ./bootstrap "", but the output is:

MonitorSrv:/usr/src/cacti-spine-0.8.7e# ./bootstrap
FATAL: Unable to locate dos2unix utility

i think that maybe i need to install something in this case.
:-?

Install the 'dos2unix' package. This gets rid of Windows return characters (damn you Larry...).

With those Windows return characters present, you get the 'cannot run /bin/sh config/config.sub' error.

So in short, install 'dos2unix', rerun bootstrap, then do ./configure.

Find an ftp mirror, download the dos2unix deb, install from the command line.

Beyond that, I can't help. I avoid Debian based distros like the plague.

Hey, you got to cut down on that Strongbow or invite me to the great white north so I can enjoy some too. My SVN client config removes all that crap now. Windows is a curse.
