SVN Version of the Syslog plugin

[apperrault]

Hi all,
I am trying to install the Syslog plugin that is available on the SVN. I have done what i normally do to install a plugin, and i can see the Syslogs tab within Cacti. I have given the necessary permissions for the user that i am using, but when i click on the Syslogs tab, i get the following:

Code: Select all

FATAL: Cannot connect to MySQL server on 'localhost'. Please make sure you have specified a valid MySQL database name in 'include/config.php'

Here is the info from my config.php

Code: Select all

$database_type = "mysql";
$database_default = "cacti";
$database_hostname = "10.100.201.10";
$database_username = "XXXXXXXXXX";
$database_password = "XXXXXXXXXX";
$database_port = "3306";

Does anyone have any ideas? I have imported the syslog.sql into MySQL with no problems, and i am still having this problem.

thanks much

Never Mind, i fixed the problem. Apparently the new version of this plugin is a little different that the old Haloe plugin. It will log to it's own database, rather than to tables in the cacti database (unless in previous version i had set it up wrong, which is entirely possible!!!)

Once i created the new database, and the necessary permissions, i was able to properly see the plugin.

One note, the error message i was getting said that i needed to edit the include/config.php, when i think the error message should have said to edit the /plugins/syslog/include.php

Just my $0.02

thanks
