problems to view plugin permission

[valeria2712]

Hi,
i want to install plugin cacti architecture and realtime plugin but i dont see plugin management in the website of my cacti after installing it. These are the steps i have followed:
I have correctly installed plugin architecture, version cacti 0.87g
1. I've copied files 0.87g in my cacti directory /var/www/cacti/cacti
2. I've reconfigured config.php like this:
$database_ type= "mysql";
$database_ default= "cacti";
$database_ hostname= "localhost";
$database_ username= "root";
$database_ port="3306";

+/* load up old style plugins here */
$plugins = array();
+//$plugins[] = 'thold';
+
$plugins[] = 'realtime';
+/*
+ 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/
+*/

$'url_path' = "/cacti/";
4) import pa.sql in my database.

also after importing archives from files-08.7g i have these in my folder

any idea? i am very confused at this point as i have tried everything...thank you very much

[valeria2712]

by the way i have restarted mysql and apache2 service too (i have forgotten to say this)
thank you very much for your help

[valeria2712]

should I try using patches instead?
maybe url path is incorrect?
any ideas please!!

thanks a lot

[valeria2712]

could it be a problem about installation path?

i have both cacti in usr/share/cacti and in var/www/cacti ?

[noname]

1) In Realm Permissions, can you see 'Plugin Management' checkbox?

2) Check your Apache's configuration ("httpd.conf" or else). Please show results of command the below:

% grep -i documentroot httpd.conf
% grep -i alias httpd.conf | grep -i cacti

[valeria2712]

thank you for your reply.

I can't see plugin managament in realm permissions.

i have two files for httpd:
/usr/share/cacti/site/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
but both of them are empty!

don't have any results from these commands you write..

Any ideas? perhaps installation site as I said in my previous post?
i also thought it was an issue from pa.sql installation, i couldnt import it to my cacti database
i tried mysql -u root -p cacti < pa.sql
and found the following mistake:

ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'Ctrl-C' at line 1

any ideas? please!!
thank you very much

???

... Well, anyway, if assume your Cacti is working actually at '/var/www/cacti/cacti',
try this:

$url_path = "/cacti/cacti/";


BTW, I'll ask you to make sure,
in your config.php,

2. I've reconfigured config.php like this:
$database_ type= "mysql";
$database_ default= "cacti";
$database_ hostname= "localhost";
$database_ username= "root";
$database_ port="3306";

+/* load up old style plugins here */
$plugins = array();
+//$plugins[] = 'thold';
+
$plugins[] = 'realtime';
+/*
+ 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/
+*/

"+" characters are your typo when you post them, aren't that?

[valeria2712]

Hello ,

I found these differente

I tried writing this:
$url_path = "/cacti/cacti/";
but it didn't work either...no option under realm permission..

the path where i have my files-0.87g pre-patched is:
/usr/share/cacti/site/include#

I tried in this path as I am running cacti on ubuntu and read this was usually where it must be installed plugin architecture...

Yes, these characters are my typo when I post them...

[noname]

I'm totally confused...

1) Where did you install Cacti?
2) Where is document root for Apache? (defined in httpd.conf or else)
3) Do you have Alias directory for Cacti? (defined in httpd.conf or else)

I have the above question because I guess your problem is concerned with path settings.

[valeria2712]

cacti is installed in /usr/share/cacti

Apache is installed in usr/share/cacti/apache2/apache2.conf

Alias for cacti?¿?

I tried again installing cacti in Ubuntu, with no luck for my plugin architecture (can't see realm permission for plugins under settings)

I think I've done it well with typical mistakes as:

import pa.sql
I don't know how to check it but when I try to import it again I find a message as:
Error 1050 (42S01) at line 5: Table 'plugin_config' already exists

What should I check else??

Please, Help!!! I am quite desperate with this for a long time...

[valeria2712]

By the way when I write :
localhost/cacti/plugins.php in my web browser I find this:

The requested URL /cacti/plugins.php was not found on this server.

And I have imported in my installation folder: prepatched files (/usr/share/cacti)
$database_type = "mysql";
$database_default = "cacti";
$database_hostname = "localhost";
$database_username = "cacti";
require('/etc/cacti/debian.php');

/* Default session name - Session name must contain alpha characters */
#$cacti_session_name = "Cacti";
$plugins = array();
$plugins[] = 'realtime';
?>


Any ideas? It would be great if someone has any idea that could help me a little...
Many thanks indeed!

2) Where is document root for Apache? (defined in httpd.conf or else)
3) Do you have Alias directory for Cacti? (defined in httpd.conf or else)

For 2), search the line contains 'DocumentRoot' in your httpd.conf
For 3), search lines like as:

Code: Select all

Alias /cacti/ "/xxxx/xxxx/cacti/"

<Directory "/xxxx/xxxx/cacti">
...
</Directory>

Though I'm not familiar with Ubuntu at all, I think this documentation may be useful...
- Install and configure Cacti v0.8.7g on Ubuntu v10.04.1 step by step

[valeria2712]

I have my cacti directory in /usr/share/ and copied in /var/www
I have apache2 installed in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Thanks for the guide...try to adapt it to my virtual machine, but not result
