Try disabling other plugins except Settings temporarily. Also, after you click "Go", do you go on the confirmation page, or just return to the graph selection page?

After I click "Go", a confirmation window appears saying "Fix 64bit counters No Yes", then I click Yes, and it returns to graph selection page.
Regarding disabling other plugins, cacti admin says its not a good idea to do on production network because results are hard to predict on a system that is old and everything intertwined, and we really dont want any troubles, we have to find some other way.
Plugins we're using:
Create Aggregate Graphs
Network Discovery
ipsubnet
Realtime Graph Viewer
Syslog Monitoring
update
Large Site Performane Booster
Device Monitoring

Do you have a list of graphs on confirmation page? Try comparing going to this page with one graph and several.

I think you can temporarily safely disable this list.

No, its empty for both several graphs selected and for only one graph selected, only No/Yes buttons, I tried many times, its always empty.
The button near graph itself works perfectly though.

Hi,

I'm on Cacti 1.1.3 (it was upgraded from an original installation from 0.87).

I read something about PIA, but I understand that is already included in 1.1.3, or do I need to install it for plugins?

Now I need to install Fix64bit plugin, and for some reason is saying is not compatible.

What I'm missing?

Thanks!

That would usually mean that the plugin does not have an INFO file which details the requirements etc.

tbh, there isn't much that goes in there. but if the info file is missing, the plugin author may not have made it work properly with 1.x. Either that or there is a later version available on the docs website or in the thread you linked.

Try downloading from https://github.com/simnv/fix64bit

If you use:

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/simnv/fix64bit fix64bit
from the <cacti>/plugins directory, that should work. Just make sure to remove any existing folder with the plugin in.

I've lost my cacti dokuwiki password, and there is no password reset form. So I can't change the plugin page. :)

Logins at the docowiki are unfortunately not working due to the decommissioning of mantis. The doco wiki should be back soon. But you may have to recreate your accounts.

I apologize if this question has been asked before, but i am trying to use this plugin with cacti v1.2.1 and it is telling me that this plugin in not compatible. Do i need to find a different version of the fix64bit to use this?

Thanks,
