Failed to install v1.3 WeatherMap in v1.2.27 Cacti

[jason23]

Hello Sir,

I have just finished the upgrade from Cacti v0.8.8h to v1.2.27. And now I am testing to add back the Plugin "WeatherMap" into the Cacti.

I have downloaded the "WeatherMap" via the below Link, and paste in D:\Inetpub\wwwroocacti\plugins. But the Cacti Site will be crashed after I put in the Plugins of "WeatherMap".

https://github.com/Cacti/plugin_weathermap

The error is as below showing at Chrome Browser.

This page isn’t working
hk-cacti is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500

I can see the below error in cacti.log

2024-05-23 20:09:32 - ERROR PHP PARSE: syntax error, unexpected '?', expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) in file: D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\plugins\weathermap\lib\WeatherMap.class.php on line: 1880

May I know if anyone can help to provide some solutions for me to solve this issue?

Thank you so much.

Hello Macan,

Thanks for your prompt solution for me. I have just modified with the Row 1880, but it still having the Crash Issue.
May I know if I need to update to PHP 7.4+ as well? Or directly upgrade to "mysql-8.4.0" (Thread Safe Version)??

Thank you.

requirements for cacti are described here:
https://github.com/Cacti/cacti

It is for cacti, plugins can have higher requirements like weathermap. You really have to update php to 7.4+
