Upgrade from .8.7b to .8.7i under Windows

[garren]

Hello all,

I need/want to upgrade from .87b to .87i-PIA. I initially followed posted directions but when I brought up the server, the plugins were missing (such as weathermap).

Fortunately, I backed up the database and was able to restore and reactivate the old site. I believe there were significant changes between B and I but I can find no information on specific pathways to upgrade all components.

Any help would of course be most appreciated.

Thanks...

The generic steps for upgrading are http://docs.cacti.net/manual:087:1_inst ... ding_cacti

With cacti 0.8.7i, PIA is finally included so you can skip that extra patching step. Once upgraded, make sure cacti is functional. Then work on updating each plugin (either from http://docs.cacti.net/plugins or the plugin forum threads) and validating they work.

First, thanks for the reply. One follow on question... do I have to rebuild the weathermaps that we currently have?

That question needs to be redirected to the weathermap author, as I'm unfamiliar with its usage.
