Plugin Architecture for Windows - Installation Guide?

[nomanlan]

I am looking for some installation steps on how to install plugin architecture on Windows 2003, I have Cacti 0.8.7d under Windows 2003 and it runs fine, any pointer will greatly be appreciated.

The steps aren't any different than linux really... what specific question(s) do you have?

[nomanlan]

ok, thanks, I assumed there was a separate installation procedures for Windows.
I followed the steps for Plugin Architecture installation using "Pre-patched" approach. I installed the thold as a sample plugin but not seeing the thold tab in my cacti login, what's a good way to check to see if my Plugin Architecture is in order? Thanks.

[nomanlan]

I did not import the pa.sql script from the PA zip file as the instructions missed that step. I'm now seeing the thold tab as expected.

My goal is to get the weather-map plugin up and running, any suggestion on which version of weathermap that would work with my Cacti .8.7d? Thanks.

How do you apply pa.sql in windows XP?
I had my PlugIn management working already and destroyed it when i tryed to install the version for cacti .e

[BSOD2600]

You import it.

Code: Select all

mysql --user=root --password cacti < c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\pa.sql

You import it.

Code: Select all

mysql --user=root --password cacti < c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cacti\pa.sql

Thanks, the command worked, but it bounced an error:

ERROR 1050 (42S01) at line 5: Table 'plugin_config' already exists

Is there a way to overwrite it? or what else might I have done to cause this?

The symptoms is under the Plugin management is no more plugins showing, but the manage and the thold plugins are still working. I had originally tried to install the weathermap plugin. Copied it to the plugin folder, caused already the issue. Then went and added the array command in global.php - did not help. Then I saw that you have the cacti .e version, installed - no help. Then installed the new plugin architecture for .e - did not help. Removed the weathermap folder and the array entry - no luck.

Any ideas?

You'd need to go into MySQLAdmin (or something like this) and drop this actual table. A full backup is strongly recommended before doing this though...

[Gunnar]

well, let me install MySQLAdmin and see what we got. I'll keep you up-to-date.

thanks

[Gunnar]

ok, i modified the pa.sql to drop the tables before recreating them - no more errors upon command execution.

Bu i still have a white page under the Plugin Management.

and additional thoughs on this?

What does your apache error log state? Does php have enough memory? What is the memory_limit set to in php.ini?

Please advise.

[Gunnar]

well, i am running on a WinXP box as a test environment.

the resource limits in php.init are currently set to:

max_execution_time = 30
max_input_time = 60
;max_input_nesting_level = 64
memory_limit = 128M

my box has 2GB memory, so that shouldn't be an issue to set higher if needed.

Thanks!

Sorry,

Apache logging is so easier than IIS

IIS logs are stored by default at \WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC##. The contents of the logs are configurable per website in the IIS tool.

I'd also suggest you enable the PHP error_log.
