Unable to load plugins (Cacti 0.8.7g & PA 2.8)

[jhunt31]

Hi,

I've just recently upgraded from cacti 0.8.7e to 0.8.7g and have installed Plugin Architecture for the first time.

I installed PA by replacing each file from the PA archive, updated my config.php from the .dist file & imported the pa.sql into the cacti database.

Cacti is working great, however I am unable to get the plugins to work. I have added each plugin to the config.php file as the instructions say, however the plugins do not appear to load. Plugin management is enabled for my admin user and is accessible, however no installed plugins are shown on this page.

The only plugin I have been able to get working the updates plugin from cactiusers.org. In addition to the normal install this also required importing an sql file into the cacti db. This plugin appears to be working correctly as it shows up under Plugin Management and also adds a Realm permissions option and Updates menu item.

Is there something I may have missed when installing/configuring the plugins?

Thank you in advance for any help!


Regards,

Jeremy

it-s not necessary to add plugins to global.php or config.php . just add them to plugin direcory and they will be discovered by the plugins.php.
Check ownership and permissions of the plugins directories. or even better chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/

Ahh, thanks a lot goita666! Removed the plugins from the config.php and they showed up straight away in plugin management... T_T

Thanks again for your help!

Cheers,

Check ownership and permissions of the plugins directories. or even better chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/

What should I do?
And what is www-data?

R

[TheWitness]

www-data is a Linux distrib dependent user. Please test the PIA 2.9beta.

Hi TheWitness,

I already try PIA 2.9beta, but still cannot load plugin.
What's wrong with my cacti?

Thanks

[TheWitness]

Permissions more than likely.

But still unable load plugin.
The strange in here is when I re-edit config.php it influences the plugin.
$plugins = array();
$plugins[] = 'settings';
$plugins[] = 'tools';
$plugins[] = 'monitor';
$plugins[] = 'thold';
$plugins[] = 'hostinfo';
$plugins[] = 'rrdclean';

Where do I misconfigure?

Thanks

[TheWitness]

1) You did not show me the permissions under the plugins directory.
2) You do not configure the plugins array in PIA 2.8++

1) These are the permissions under the plugins directory:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root apache 4096 Aug 10 16:05 hostinfo

2)You do not configure the plugins array in PIA 2.8++? I'm sorry, I don't understand. Can you explain it?

Thanks in advance

[TheWitness]

Have your sourced the pa.sql file? What is in your Cacti log? What experience do you have with Plugins? Is this a new system?

[dorojatunb]

Have your sourced the pa.sql file? Is this a new system?

TheWitness

I have sourced the pa.sql. This is not a new system, I upgrade it from 0.8.7b. It has same problem when I use 0.8.7b. I thought if I upgrade to 0.8.7g, the plugin can be loaded.

Thanks

E-mail was/is broken. Did you figure this out?
