Step by step PLUGINS installation on fedora core 6

[lwegaba]

After fully installing cacti-0.8.7b, i continued and installed plugin architecture.

How to install plugin architechture:

1. Download file from cactiusers.org/downloads/patches.
2. unzip: tar -zvxf cacti-plugin-arch.tar.gz
3. under cacti-plugin-arch go in directory files-0.8.7b, copy all files there into your cacti directory (/usr/share/cacti) and replace whatever is copied there.
4. re-enter your database username and password.
5. Edit your global.php file under /usr/share/cacti/include. on this option $config['url_path'] = "/"; under global.php file put the right path for your cacti. Mine is $config['url_path'] = "/cacti/"; and also edit the username and password under /* Default database settings*/
.
6. Restart your httpd and mysqld. /sbin/service httpd restart and /sbin/service mysqld restart.
7. Now dowload a plugin file say monitor-0.8.2.tar.gz and untar (tar -zvxf monitor-0.8.2.tar.gz).
8. Copy your extracted dir ie monitor to plugins dir (/usr/share/cacti/plugins).
9. Edit the global.php file again. uncomment the //$plugins[] = 'thold'; and replace "thold" with "monitor". hence it should be $plugins[] = 'monitor';.
10. Now go under cacti on your web browser--> under user management click on admin then click on Realm Permissions and activate View Monitoring .
11. That will be it and your ready for fire with tabs in your cacti. Its nice.
