RE: [php-weathermap] Cacti plugin architecture problems

[Mark Duling <mark.duling@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just tried setting up Cacti and then applying the patches and I get the same when I login (though I can login), and when I run the poller:

Warning: reset() [function.reset]: Passed variable is not an array or object in /opt/local/share/cacti/lib/functions.php on line 146
Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /opt/local/share/cacti/lib/functions.php on line 147

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /opt/local/share/cacti/lib/functions.php on line 147

Also, the Cacti images are broken after the PA patches but I found a tip on how to fix that by editing include/plugins.php and changing this:

define('URL_PATH', $config['url_path']);

to this:

$config['url_path'] = '/cacti/';
define('URL_PATH', $config['url_path']);


I hope someone can figure out the remaining problem.  A note by the developer in the PA forum says for 2.0 we should edit global.php rather than config.php but it doesn't elaborate and this makes no sense to me, and doesn't work anyway so I'm baffled.

Generally speaking, I'd install Cacti first, do the initial install, and
*then* copy over or patch for the plugin architecture...
