[SOLVED] Confusion in config.php

[harner]

I'm rocking the version "i" of the cacti install. I'm trying to configure the plugin architecture so I can get a bunch of programs up and running. I'm noticing the plugins I added are not working and nothing is showing up in the Realm Permissions. I skipped a step on purpose, since I thought it would pick up the subdomain redirect (which it obviously does not). I'm a bit confused as to where I am supposed to add the cacti install directory in the config file.

I used the pre-patched files and just overwrote everything. I'm running OpenSUSE 10.1, Apache2, PHP5, MySQL.

Here is a snippet of ./cacti/include/config.php:

Code: Select all

$URL_PATH = '';
for($i = count($a) - 2; $i > -1; --$i) {
    $URL_PATH .= '../';
    if ($a[$i] === 'plugins') {
        break;
    }
}
$config['url_path'] = implode('/', array_slice($a, 0, $i)) . '/';
define('URL_PATH', $config['url_path']);

Here is what the cactiuser said to use (Example):

Code: Select all

$config['url_path'] = "/projects/cacti/testing/";

My question is, where do I put the url path?
My url path is /srv/www/htdocs/cacti by the way.

I need to update the docs, but as you can see in the release post, its not necessary to make that change anymore.

If you aren't seeing the plugins, its not a problem with that variable in the config. Instead you will want to chech the permissions on the plugins directory and all files / folders under it. You can also check to see if its even loading the plugins setup files by editting any setup.php in a plugin directory, and make some obvious error to see if its even getting there.

BTW, did you use the patch, or the pre-patched files?

pre-patched. And I have to runt he SQL files once I edit the config, correct?

I had a different problem with the new plugin architecture, it didn't "recognise" the path correctly.
It though the path was "http://FQDN/i" for some reason.

I "solved" it the hard way

Code: Select all

/* This is the URL Path to Cacti's install
   Future versions will only contain the DEFINE, the old variable is currently
   for backwards compatibility */
#if (isset($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']))
#       $config['url_path'] = substr(__FILE__, strlen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']), -18);
#else
#       $config['url_path'] = substr(__FILE__, strlen($config["base_path"]), -18);
$config['url_path'] = "/cacti/";
define('URL_PATH', $config['url_path']);

This issue has already been corrected for future downloads of the Plugin Architecture. Just the first few days after release were "broken".

glad to hear cigamit, it was indeed the first or second day after the release.
But I didn't thought of a "general bug" at tat time because other people stated that it works.
