How To Install Plugin Architecture on Ubuntu 9.10 Server ?!

[leandrofviana]

I'm using ubuntu 10.04, cacti Version 0.8.7e and plugin Architecture v2.9. I do everything as I described, plugins, etc. appear. But the graph stops running. It just does not create more graphic. Can I use version 2.9 of the PIA in cacti 0.8.7e? Has anyone gone through this problem?

when you say

For a fresh install you have to import the pa.sql to your cacti database:

Quote:
mysql cacti < pa.sql -u root -p

if I have installed cacti and all configured and I want to add PIA, have to do this?

Look here, but use full files instead of patch method. Also keep in mind that Debian's config.php and global.php are different than stock, so you have to tread lightly. In addition, Debian moves a few directories to alternate locations.

I got working, first time it mess up in my sql server, I have 3 cacti in production, in these one works well, only I had to restart mysqld before apply pa.sql and after.

I've installed cacti from repository following the instructions written on cacti's offical site,my linux distribution is ubuntu 10.But when ı want to install a plugin it is not possible to install directly from aministration panel,because there is no such a menu item.
Also,ı've tried to install manually,getting the plugin then extracting into the plugin installation folder.I checked the configuration many times,but didn'd succeed.
What else should ı do more?

Thank you so much for your time.

1 could you copy your /include/config.php here
2 ls fo /plugins/...
3 check if your user have the configuration of PIA tick mark

I did this

tar xvfz cacti-plugin-0.8.7h-PA-v3.0.tar.gz
cd cacti-plugin-arch/
cp cacti-plugin-0.8.7h-PA-v3.0.diff /var/www/cacti/
cd /var/www/cacti/
patch -p1 -N --dry-run < cacti-plugin-0.8.7h-PA-v3.0.diff
patch -p1 -N < cacti-plugin-0.8.7h-PA-v3.0.diff
vi ./include/config.php

Add this lines

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

/*
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/";



service mysqld restart
cd /tmp/cacti-plugin-arch/
mysql cacti < pa.sql -u root -p
service mysqld restart

and works for me, only you have to go to user management and in your use tick the mark pluggins management.

This my screen

[ealcaniz]

ok did you apply the steps like i did it?

[semihtore]

Successfully apply a patch consists of these steps, while the point while cactinin lot of trouble from there I'm doing is taking the main directory of the diff file. but it was not
I am about to go nuts:)
From there can I contact if I have an email address.

I think something might be wrong with the forum site, would someone be able to post what is the correct code- see whats underlined below. I opened this forum page in firefox, chrome, and ie and get the same scrambled code. Not sure why. Thank you.
$config["rra_path"] = $config["base_path"]."/rra";
change it to:
$config["rra_path"] = "/var/lib/cacti/rra";


include($config["library_path"]."/adodb/adodb.inc.php");
change it to:
include("/usr/share/php/adodb/adodb.inc.php");


$config[’url_path’] = ‘/’;
to:
$config[’url_path’] = ‘/cacti/’;
