Cacti 0.8.7g, patches & PIA 2.8

[Joost]

If I install Cacti 0.8.7g, apply the official patches (I'm specifically interested in the poller_interval.patch) & afterwards install PIA 2.8 - Will I run into any issues?

Or is there any specific order I need to install it? Like;

- Cacti install, official patches, PIA install
or
- Cacti install, PIA, official patches

Many thanks!

There is a beta 2.9 pia floating around here. Rony was going to release it. Don't know what happened. Google it.

Hi,

I ran into an issue with trying to install PIA 2.8 with Cacti Version 0.8.7g that had been patched with all the official patches. The install works great but when I go to patch it for PIA 2.8 I get errors on two .php files that had been patched by the official patches. They are:

data_sources.php and poller.php

So, guys what's the best course of action here? I would rather not do a fresh install of cacti, then install PIA then install the official patches... Is there a way around this?

Thanks all for such an awesome program!
