Quick question
how to unzip the plugin_weathermap-develop.zip into weathermap

i mean to overwrite the current config!

[TheWitness]

I just would do something like the following:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
cd /var/www/html/cacti/plugins
/bin/rm -rf plugin_weathermap
git clone https://TheWitness/plugin_weathermap
/bin/cp -rpf plugin_weathermap/* weathermap
/bin/rm -rf plugin_weathermap
chown -R apache:apache weathermap

Another option as described below would be to:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
cd /var/www/html/cacti/plugins
/bin/rm -rf configs
/bin/cp -rfp weathermap/configs .
rm -rf weathermap
git clone https://TheWitness/plugin_weathermap weathermap
/bin/cp -frp configs weathermap
chown -R apache:apache weathermap

There will be some file deleting required afterwards, but that does not get in the way. This "should" preserve all old maps. If you won't want to preserve anything, you could simply wipe out the weathermap directory first, or you could copy out the 'configs' directory before running the script above.

Hello. I'd be glad to help testing a new version of the Weathermap. So far I'm getting an error after replacing weathermap 0.98a:

Version 1.2.23

[EvilNate]

I am interested in testing this. I am relatively new to Cacti/Weathermap and have installed version 1.2.23 with the plugin. I noticed that after installing I have a new Weathermaps option under the Management tab on the left but after I create a config file, the weathermap option disappears. Also how do I create maps?

[TheWitness]

Where did you grab it from? Send me a screen shot. Goto the Plugin Management page and see if it disabled itself. If it did, search the Cacti.log for some errors. Post those too.

[EvilNate]

What I did was
1) I downloaded it from your github repository
2) Moved the file to the /cacti/plugins/ directory
3) Extracted the zip
4) Changed ownership to the same user/group as the cacti directory
5) Enabled the plugin in Cacti
6) Verified that I was an admin user and had all weathermap related permissions
7) Went to the Management => Weathermaps and created a weathermap "simple.conf"
Navigated to the graphs tab at the top of cacti and then attempted to go back to the weathermap menu and it was gone

Logs and screenshots attached below.

I checked the plugins tab and it is still showing installed/enabled. I can still get to the weathermap page by going to "https://IPADDRESS/cacti/plugins/weather ... n-mgmt.php" in my browser. I am also getting an HTTP ERROR 500 error when I click the title to start the editor.

[EvilNate]

I think I have resolved the permission issues that were causing some of the errors in the logs. I am still getting the error below when I attempt to open the weathermap editor though.

[TheWitness]

Can you please open a bug on GitHub in the Cacti weathermap repository?

https://github.com/Cacti/plugin_weathermap

[TheWitness]

Also, your line numbers are not lining up with what I'm seeing. Post a screen grab of that line number in the file in question.

[TheWitness]

Also, please pull from Cacti's repo moving forward. I'll be removing my copy shortly.

[lpalochka]

Thanks for all the fixes. After applying last commits there's no errors or warnings in log.
Is automatic refresh of the webpage available in weathermap 1.0 like in viewtopic.php?t=61203
.

All watching, beta2 will be available by the end of the weekend.
