Problem while adding pluggin architecture

[mryogi]

I am new to Ubuntu and cacti. Trying to install cacti on Ubuntu desktop 10.04 lucid

I used apt-get install method. Everything works fine except plugin arch.

I have taken backup of folder/usr/share/cacti/


after copying files in files-0.8.7g from plugin arch folder, to /usr/share/cacti/site/ folder, tried to change settings in global.php file as per the link,


http://www.askaboutphp.com/42/cacti-ubu ... -path.html

after that I am getting the cacti webpage but I am unable to login to Cacti webpage.

Already imported pq.sql file.
can anybody suggest me where I might be going wrong?

Unfortunately, the Ubuntu packages are modified. So it may happen, that the plugin file-set does not match the Ubuntu package, thus breaking the installation. See e.g. cacti.log or httpd's error_log

Thanks for your response.

I revisited all the procedure and seems that somewhere I had done mistake. But it required lot of patience.

With same method used earlier, I was able to login and proceed for plugiin architecture. So my earlier problem is resolved now.

I have new querry: After selection of plugin tab installed, the view of the website gets damaged and further selection shows "webpage could not be found" as error message for eg. "http://172.16.2.92/cacti/plugins/monito ... onitor.php"

The same problem occur when I need to see other tabs like going from monitor tab to clog tab
eg. http://172.16.2.92/cacti/plugins/clog/p ... g/clog.php

The whole display gets damaged (snapshot attached) and I only need to scroll back to my last screen to get default cacti website image.

I tried this with IE & firefox web browser but showing same problem.

Can anybody suggest where could be the issue?

Your screenshot reminds me of an entry in include/config.php for url_path. Make sure, you've set that accordingly

I replicated the scenario, today on virtual box 4.012-ubuntu 10.04 (ubuntu-10.04.2-desktop-i386) but facing same problem
Request somebody to guide me to troubleshoot this issue.
=================================================================================================

This virtual machine is running with 30 GB hdd and 512 MB ram

After clicking on any plugin tab the display is damaged and I need to go backword [Go back one page <= ]to see default web page.
This does not happen if we click on Console & Graphs tab. Also I have not yet added any host to monitor on this server. The graphs shows the localhost features very well.

I have also checked CactiEZ server ISO on another virtual machine (CactiEZ-v0.6) but there I didn't face such issue. Here mac-track plugin giving problem so I choose to go with cacti 0.8.7g

Below is the config.php file in "include" folder under
/usr/share/cacti/site

path.

Hello,

I have the same problem, my url path is like this: http://ipserver/ so in config.php i have url path set to "/" but all link in plugins pages are wrong.
Please help us!

Thanks

[bde]

I have found another url_path section in global.php , I have set the good setting, it resolve my tabs problem, now all tabs are well displayed even on plugin page but on my weathermap , all links on switch towards the graphs are wrong

The $url_path need only be set in the config.php and nowhere else. If you do, you are on your own for support. You must take care when making changes to the global.php to support Debian. Give it some thought. It'll work fine once you understand how it works.

On a separate note, I should send Sean an email and see if he can change the package to include PIA.
