Updating PIA documentation
The PIA documentation has some errors which should be corrected:
1. In the wiki docs at
http://cactiusers.org/wiki/PluginArchitectureInstall it says to update global.cfg. The file that should be changed is actually config.php, which overrides settings in global.php. This default file actually makes a point of saying that it should not be updated:
Code:
/*
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
The following defaults are not to be altered. Please refer to
include/config.php for user configurable database settings.
*/
2. Nowhere in the documentation does it say that permissions must be added to the user for the "Plugin Management" menu item to appear. Looking at the forums, many people have had difficulty with this seemingly-minor detail - it cost me 2 hours of time this morning while I reinstalled and repatched Cacti several times, wondering why the instructions I was following weren't working. Please add this detail in the installation steps.
