Upgrade to 2.6 doesn't work

Post by philipz »

I have succesfully installed Mactrack 1.1, but if I replace the content of 1.1 with 2.6 I don't see the plugin in Plugin management. Replacing the 2.6 items with 1.1 items shows the plugin again in cacti.

I have latest PIA installed; when running the database upgrade php file, I get an "Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/20060613/php_gd2.dll'" error, telling me to enable the plugin from the GUI. Problem is - it doesn't show in the GUI.


Any thoughts?

The php_gd2.dll error was not related. This has been fixed but when I want to execute the database_upgrade.php it still says "This function is depricated. Please goto Plugin Management from the WebUI to Upgrade". And it still does not show up in the UI.

How about a copy of someones Cacti.log after the upgrade so I can see what is broken.

Make sure you remove mactrack from the list of plugins in config.php.

I did a fresh install of 0.8.7g and installed Mactrack with the new PIA and now everything is working, thanks!

I'm having weird stuff with Mactrack too.

Running 0.8.7g + PIA 2.8.

MacTrack installs ok, seems to be running. I have Tracking tab in settings but no MacTrack tab in main.

I'm getting an error every minute:

MACTRACK: Poller[0] ERROR: Can not start MAC Tracking process. There is already one in progress

Reinstalling fresh would be a pain for me, so how do I troubleshoot?

Thanks in advance!

Code: Select all

truncate mac_track_processes
Also, another thing to do is:

Code: Select all

php -q poller_mactrack.php --force

I feel it may be worth mentioning I'm using Mactrack 2.6-1.

Code: Select all

[root@localhost mactrack]# truncate mac_track_processes
-bash: truncate: command not found
[root@localhost mactrack]# php -q poller_mactrack.php --force

[root@localhost mactrack]#

Obviously you don't know much about databases.

Code: Select all

mysql cacti
> truncate table syslog_processes;
> quit;[/quote]

You are indeed correct. i actually like it that way, despite looking stupid every now and then. :)

Code: Select all

truncate mac_track_processes;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
I've just updated to Mactrack 2.8 from SVN and its made no difference either - plugin appears in plugin management and settings, but no mactrack tab and no tracking menu on the left in Cacti.

You have to give yourself permissions to be able to see those tabs and navigation menu. You will over time 'learn' despite yourself.

Permissions sorted it - thanks - and yes, I'm finding that. Making notes is key to future success. :)
