How to upgrade CacteEZ 0.6 to Cacti 0.87g and PIA 2.8

[edgie512]

For those of you wanting to upgrade CactiEZ 0.6 from the installed Cacti version of 0.8.7C to 0.8.7g along with upgrading to the PIA 2.9 I have documented the steps that I used to complete the upgrade. I've upgrade most of the default plugins as well.

Below is the output of the commands (For the most part). If your installation is on a VM; best to take a snapshot of it first.

Code: Select all

First I updated the Plugins architecture with the following commands:

*** Fix the missing Netflow Directory

mkdir /var/netflows
mkdir /var/netflows/flows



[root@localhost plugins]# yum install nano
[root@localhost /]# cd /var/www/html/plugins
[root@localhost plugins]# wget http://www.network-weathermap.com/files/php-weathermap-0.97a.zip
[root@localhost plugins]# unzip php-weathermap-0.97a.zip 
Website stuff for using the editor.....    The editor has not been enabled yet. You need to set E
NABLED=true at the top of editor.php
[root@localhost plugins]# nano weathermap/editor.php
             Correct the setting for Weathermap
[root@localhost plugins]# rm  php-weathermap-0.97a.zip 

[root@localhost plugins]# wget http://docs.cacti.net/_media/plugin:aggregate-v0.75.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# mv plugin\:aggregate-v0.75.tgz aggregate-v0.75.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# tar -zvxf aggregate-v0.75.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# rm aggregate-v0.75.tgz 

[root@localhost plugins]# wget http://docs.cacti.net/_media/plugin:discovery-v1.1-1.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# mv plugin\:discovery-v1.1-1.tgz discovery-v1.1-1.tgz 
[root@localhost plugins]# tar -xzvf discovery-v1.1-1.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# rm discovery-v1.1-1.tgz 

[root@localhost plugins]# wget http://docs.cacti.net/_media/plugin:boost-v4.3-1.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# mv plugin\:boost-v4.3-1.tgz boost-v4.3-1.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# tar -xzvf boost-v4.3-1.tzgz
[root@localhost plugins]# rm boost-v4.3-1.tgz 

[root@localhost plugins]# wget http://docs.cacti.net/_media/plugin:monitor-v1.2-1.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# mv plugin\:monitor-v1.2-1.tgz monitor-v1.2.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# tar -xzvf monitor-v1.2.tgz 
[root@localhost plugins]# rm monitor-v1.2.tgz 

[root@localhost plugins]# wget http://docs.cacti.net/_media/plugin:realtime-v0.43-1.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# mv plugin\:realtime-v0.43-1.tgz realtime.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# tar -xzvf realtime.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# rm realtime.tgz 

[root@localhost plugins]# wget http://docs.cacti.net/_media/plugin:routerconfigs-v0.3-1.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# mv plugin\:routerconfigs-v0.3-1.tgz routers.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# tar -xzvf routers.tgz 
[root@localhost plugins]# rm routers.tgz 

[root@localhost plugins]# wget http://docs.cacti.net/_media/plugin:syslog-v1.21-1.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# mv plugin\:syslog-v1.21-1.tgz sys.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# tar -xzvf sys.tgz 
[root@localhost plugins]# rm sys.tgz 

[root@localhost plugins]# wget http://docs.cacti.net/_media/plugin:settings-v0.7-1.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# mv plugin\:settings-v0.7-1.tgz see.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# tar -xzvf see.tgz 
[root@localhost plugins]# rm see.tgz 

[root@localhost plugins]# wget http://docs.cacti.net/_media/plugin:thold-latest.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# mv plugin\:thold-latest.tgz th.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# tar -xzvf th.tgz 
[root@localhost plugins]# rm th.tgz 
[root@localhost plugins]# mv thold /tmp/thold
[root@localhost plugins]# mv thold-0.41/ thold


[root@localhost plugins]# wget http://docs.cacti.net/_media/plugin:ntop-v0.2-1.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# mv plugin\:ntop-v0.2-1.tgz  ntop.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# tar -xzvf ntop.tgz 
[root@localhost plugins]# rm ntop.tgz

[root@localhost plugins]# wget http://docs.cacti.net/_media/plugin:loginmod-latest.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# mv plugin\:loginmod-latest.tgz logmiod.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# tar -xzvf logmiod.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# mv loginmod /tmp/loginmod
[root@localhost plugins]# mv loginmod-1.0/ loginmod
[root@localhost plugins]# rm logmod.tgz 

[root@localhost var]# cd plugins /var/www/html/plugins/mactrack/
[root@localhost mactrack]# mysql cacti < mactrack.sql
[root@localhost mactrack]# php ./database_upgrade.php

[root@localhost mactrack]# cd ..
[root@localhost plugins]# wget http://docs.cacti.net/_media/plugin:mactrack-v2.9-1.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# mv plugin:mactrack-v2.9-1.tgz mactrack.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# tar -xzvf mactrack.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# rm mactrack.tgz
[root@localhost plugins]# cd ..
[root@localhost html]#chown -R apache plugins/


Now that the plugins have been updated, it's time to upgrade Cacti


[root@localhost html]# mysqldump l --add-drop-table cacti > mysql.cacti
[root@localhost html]# cd ..
[root@localhost www]# mv html/ html-old/
[root@localhost www]# wget http://www.cacti.net/downloads/cacti-0.8.7g.tar.gz
[root@localhost www]# tar -xzvf cacti-0.8.7g.tar.gz
[root@localhost www]# mv cacti-0.8.7g/ html/
[root@localhost www]# rm cacti-0.8.7g.tar.gz
[root@localhost www]# cp html-old/include/config.php html/include/config.php
[root@localhost www]# mkdir html/plugins
[root@localhost www]# cp  -R --reply=yes html-old/scripts/* html/scripts/
[root@localhost www]# cp  -R --reply=yes html-old/rra/* html/rra/
[root@localhost www]# cp  -R --reply=yes html-old/plugins/* html/plugins/

Now we start to update the plugin architecture

[root@localhost www]# cd /tmp
[root@localhost tmp]# wget http://mirror.cactiusers.org/downloads/plugins/cacti-plugin-0.8.7g-PA-v2.8.tar.gz
[root@localhost tmp]# tar xzvf cacti-plugin-0.8.7g-PA-v2.8.tar.gz 
[root@localhost tmp]# cd /var/www/html
[root@localhost html]# patch -p1 -N < /tmp/cacti-plugin-arch/cacti-plugin-0.8.7g-PA-v2.8.diff 
[root@localhost html]# chown -R apache plugins/
[root@localhost html]# chown -R apache log/


OK, now relaunch your site.   Click ok through the intialization prompts.   You may need to Disable your plugins and re-enable them for them to work properly...
Also be sure to check your user permissions (GUI) if you notice that some tabs are missing...



Issues I had w/ MacTrack, required me to goto the plugin, disable; uninstall; re-install, enable.

Now when I did this, I also lost my Mac-Track Device Database & here is the fix for that.
[root@localhost plugins]# cd plugins/mactrack
[root@localhost tmp]# wget http://forums.cacti.net/download/file.php?id=8485
[root@localhost tmp]# mysql cacti < file.php\?id\=8485 
[root@localhost tmp]# rm file.php\?id\=8485



How to manually force a run of mactrack
[root@localhost ~]# cd /var/www/html/plugins/mactrack
[root@localhost mactrack]# php poller_mactrack.php -d -f

When everything is working properly be sure to go clean up your /tmp directory, and clear out the /var/www/html-old directory

Hopefully this helps, it took me a long time to figure out all these steps.

Cool thanks for that. There are a couple of typos, but it's mostly correct.

You rock my socks. Thanks for posting this.
