cacti 0.8.7e, PIA 0.8.7e-PA-v2.6/v2.5

[eonarts]

I have to stay with cacti 0.8.7e and I'd like to install PIA. There are 2 versions of PIA (v2.5 & v.26). The unpatched person of 0.8.7e has no problems with v2.6. But if I patch cacti 0.8.7e there are problems with the following files: data_sources.php, graph.php, graphs_new.php, graphs.php & host.php.

Any problems with running those files unpatched? Or is there another PIA for 0.8.7e coming? (patches for 0.8.7e seem to be security related for the most part)

thoughts?
thnx...

I have to stay with cacti 0.8.7e

Any particular reason? Just for reference 0.8.7e was released well over a year ago. The newest version 0.8.7g was released over 3 months ago.

Releasing new versions of the PA for older versions of Cacti is way too time consuming, so I don't do it. If you can find a working PA for that old version, than more power to you, but its not something I will support anymore. The PA is meant to patch directly against raw cacti (without patches). After it is patched in, if any of the cacti patches no longer work, then you may have patch them by hand (not really that hard to do, just a lot of copy and pasting).
