Plugin Architecture Install Problem

[phil_w]

Having abandoned my previous install which I had a thread open about, I have done a fresh install of cacti 0.8.7d on Ubuntu 9.10, ran through the install process and then patched with PA from;

http://mirror.cactiusers.org/downloads/ ... A-v2.4.zip

applied using the patch command and added the sql file, and editted the global.php to point to the right url.

Now I am getting the following error when i browse to http://serverip/cacti/

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Call to undefined function api_plugin_hook() in /usr/share/cacti/site/include/global_arrays.php  on line 649

can you check if the file "lib/plugins.php" is existing ?

[phil_w]

/usr/share/cacti/lib/plugins.php

does exist yes.

then scan thorugh the include/global.php file, there should be the following lines somewhere near the end:

Code: Select all

include_once($config["library_path"] . "/plugins.php");
include_once($config["include_path"] . "/plugins.php");

He attempting to "hack" a Debian packagers Cacti. Could get tricky. My home Bufallo Linkstation is running Cacti on Debian w/PIA, but you have to be careful.

These were missing for some reason, though adding them has made no difference to the result when browsing to cacti.

Is there any distro which has a repo package that accepts the PA easily?

For the Debian install, you must change the location in global.php to the correct ADODB location as it's not in the Cacti root.

Second, database settings are stored in /etc/cacti/debian.conf (pretty sure that's the name), so that file will need to be sourced.

The whole exercise involves taking the strait Debian install, and auditing their global.php vs. the one provided by the PIA. Once you have reconciled that, you can overwrite all files from the "all files" portion of the PIA over the Cacti install.

Of course, you can not overwrite global.php.

That's how I did it.

Here's a small manual on how to install the PIA on an Ubuntu installation. Still works for 9.10 ( checked it myself) :
