PIA 2.9 Beta

[TheWitness]

All,

I've been working through several issues with PIA 2.8 in conjunction with Cacti 0.8.7g. Here is a 'beta' of PIA 2.9.

I am still working through a 5 minute crontab with a 1 minute poller interval problem with some users, which from my perspective is resolved, but for some, likely PHP specific, reason is not for that user.

If you are using a 5 minute poller interval, this patch is stable.

For those who are using PIA 2.8 + 0.8.7g, where can we see which are the solved issues?

Here is a ChangeLog:

-bug: PIA 1.x Plugins Can't Be Updated to PIA 2.x Versions
-bug#0001802: Plugins That Do Not Contain Keys Generate Errors
-bug#0001815: 1-minute with 5-minute crontab broken
-compat: Remove some deprecated calls
-compat: Sync with 0.8.7g patches
-feature: New Reskin Optional Setting

is there a patch available that patches a pia 2.8 to 2.9? I did some changes to the files to customize cacti and do not want to do it again (and also applied some patches from plugins...)

I have not been too good at making patches in the past. Maybe Linegod can help us here. I'll PM him.

Might have to wait til tonight.

I went through the files and applied the changed lines manually:
I get an empty browser page as I click on the tabs graphs, nmidpdf, thold,manage. Camm, Mactrack are working.

The URL shows:
https://10.X.XX9/cacti/plugins/manage/m ... forceids=0

I reverted back to old structure in " top_header.php ":

Code: Select all

> <?php } elseif ($oper_mode == OPER_MODE_NOTABS) { api_plugin_hook_function('print_top_header'); } ?>
>         <tr style="height:2px;" bgcolor="#87B59E" class="noprint">
---
<         <tr height="5" bgcolor="#87B59E" class="noprint">

Now the allpages are displayed correct

I think you missed global_constants.php. Check it out.

[torstentfk]

checked - not missed, all changes applied.

See, it's working perfectly in my dev environment. So, we have to find out which plugin jacked it up.

The issue above was end user error in merging the PIA beta with their environment. However, there have been two 'minor' issues reported with the new beta. These will be addressed in release.

A tip for us that also get the blank index.php page. Check your permissions! Default permissions in this pia2.9beta is 700, for me, they were supposed to be 644.

Hi,

i have a problem with the last PA 2.8 and also the new beta 2.9.

On the PA 2.4 ver in production on my server there was a variable that i have to set :

/*
Edit this to point to the default URL of your Cacti install
ex: if your cacti install as at http://serverip/cacti/ this
would be set to /cacti/
*/

$config['url_path'] = '/cacti/';


this variable permit me to show correctly the plugin when i selected it in my cacti.

In the new ver this setting is disappear ... and for this reason all the paths are wrong and all the tables are not linked.

What can i do?

pleae help me

In 2.9, the is a variable in config.php called $url_path. Set it there. You should not have to modify global.php for anything any longer.

Look at the attached config.php.dist.
