Any info on whether you can upgrade from 2.0 on a production system and how?

[mcutting]

I'll second that. Just tried it, and had to roll back...

MCutting, what were the issues that you experienced, and before you ask "where the hell have you been", just don't...

Regards,

I won't ask ! :D

I'll need to re-run this in test again, as I lost my screenshot I took !! (my bad) - will revert back asap.

Hm, i used the already patched files that are contained within the archive to replace the ones in my PA 2.0 patched 0.8.7b cacti version. As far as I can see that worked.

Though I didn't import the pa.sql file (wonder If I should have done that hehe )

Thanks guys!

Might be handy to add to the documentation how you import the sql tables into an existing db for newbs like myself.

I did it via mysql -u cactiuser -p cacti < pa.sql

Then logged into mysql : use cacti; and did a show tables; to make sure the import was successful.

I got this to work in the end as well. Now running PIA 2.2 (Beta). The issue was that Cacti complained about an error in line 33 of plugins.php (don't have this to hand, as currently in transit - sorry).

To resolve this issue, I commented the line out. This allowed me to login to Cacti. I then set the URL path to "/cacti/" then saved the file.

Things returned to normal after this, so I went back to plugins.php, and uncommented line 33 again, and saved.

This had the desired effect.

Hope this helps someone else (I am running Windows).

Failed install...

Followed the directions from here:

http://cactiusers.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1432

but basically, extracted the archive, and copied the pre-patched files into my production directory. Modified the global.php file to include the correct path to the cacti URL. Fired up Firefox and received the following:

Code: Select all

Warning: include(/usr/share/webapps/cacti/0.8.7b/htdocs/lib/adodb/adodb.inc.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/share/webapps/cacti/0.8.7b/htdocs/include/global.php on line 201

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/usr/share/webapps/cacti/0.8.7b/htdocs/lib/adodb/adodb.inc.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php5:/usr/share/php') in /usr/share/webapps/cacti/0.8.7b/htdocs/include/global.php on line 201

Fatal error: Call to undefined function NewADOConnection() in /usr/share/webapps/cacti/0.8.7b/htdocs/lib/database.php on line 38

Checked for <cactidir>/htdocs/lib/adodb/* ... no files.

Now, I'm no PHP whiz and defining myself as a newb would be an understatement. But it seems I'm missing some files.

Cacti .0.8.7b
PIA 2.1

Any thoughts?

Looks like an RPM install that has moved the ADODB. You should reinstall Cacti and then apply the PIA. You might consider pinging the package maintainer and ask for a PIA patch.

I should clarify a bit. I'm using Gentoo, so no RPMs are to blame, although admittedly it's still loosely based on a package system.

As for re-installing Cacti ... unless I'm missing something obvious, that is far from a reasonable request. Wouldn't I lose everything I've created in Cacti as it sits?

jofficer:

I had the same problem... If you've got slocate installed run the following:

updatedb
locate adodb.inc.php

It found mine at:

/usr/share/php5/adodb

I than created a symlink by running the following:

# ln -s /usr/share/php5/adodb /var/www/<SITENAME>/htdocs/lib/adodb

Fixed it for me.

Thanks for the updated!

I would rather you perform an sdiff of the full files against what you have done (aka your patched environment) and post the differences.

Code: Select all

sdiff /var/www/html/cacti /pia2.1/files/cacti | more[code]
