Cactiusers.org

just did a clean install of version h of cacti and applied the cacti-plugin patch for that version. I got an error when the patch was applied to config.php.

+ $plugins = array();
+ //$plugins[] = 'thold';
+
+ /* Do not edit this line */
+ $config = array();
+
+ /* This is full URL Path to the Cacti installation
+ For example, if your cacti was accessible by http://server/cacti/ you would user '/cacti/'
+ as the url path. For just http://server/ use '/'
+ */
+
+ $config["url_path"] = '/';
+
/* ----- you probably do not need to change anything below this line ----- */


So i manually added the url_path and plugins array to the config.php file. How do i know if this actually is working? I have put for example $plugins[] = 'ntop' but i see no difference in cacti. what should i be looking for?


Thanx!

Did you add permissions for your user to view NTop?

On new installs, if you don't want it to fail on config.php, you have to install the Plugin Architecture BEFORE you modify the username / password for the database.

Yes i have, i have even set the permissions to 777 incase. How can i tell if ntop plugin is working?

Not file permissions, user permissions inside Cacti

Console >> User Permissions >> Select a User >> View NTop

Hi Jimmy

I dont see anything for ntop under user management, perhaps its not even loading the plugin, is there some sort of log that i can look at to see if its loading correctly?

There is no logging to tell if the plugin architecture is working, maybe I will make a plugin for it. If it works, then it will test each hook one by one, otherwise you won't see anything.

In either case, best bet is to use the override files, instead of the patch to ensure that the Plugin Architecture is installed correctly.

Ok i will try replace the files and let you know...
