Not sure this in the right spot, but someone posted about this in the announce forum and I think this is the answer:

when applying PIA 2.4, the following patch errors occur:

from /include/global_constants.php.rej:


I think this "failure" results in the following (from the other post):



I haven't spent much time investigating these, although I know the line numbers are "off" by 1 in the patch process (our file has these on 174, not 175), but we manually added these lines to the end of this file and things appear fine to us:



also of note, our global_constants.php is a stock file and un-editted to this point (so there shouldn't be any custom stuff in this file on our systems).

Hope this helps someone,

I'm glad someone posted on this!! I have that exact issue, and not being too savy at debugging I reverted back. I'll give this a try. Thanks much for posting!

Anyone else feel it's a bit of a pain to upgrade Cacti? All the documentation I'm finding seems to speak to a base Cacti upgrade without Spine or plugins. As far as I can tell, it seems I need to follow the documented way to upgrade Cacti, install the PIA, install latest plugins, and install spine. That's all theoretical since I haven't been successful yet.

That sequence is indeed correct by now.

I have the same problem on Cacti 0.8.7c without Spine. (default poller)

If not --dry-run, cacti is corrupted.

Hunk failed at 175.

Have you a solution ?

Regards.

Go into the .diff file for the PIA and find the line with "175" on it, change it to "174" and re-run. See if that dry-run's ok.

You can also get the 2.4 patch to run by using '-F 3' when running the patch command. That allows more fuzz and the global constants file gets patched.

The PIA patch only works on the cacti .tar.gz file. On the cacti .zip file it fails on all patches. I think there is a line ending issue.

I'm new in cacti. Fresh installation.
While patching proces ( patch -p1 -F3 -N --dry-run < cacti-plugin-0.8.7d-PA-v2.4.diff) I get
patching file include/global_constants.php
Hunk #1 succeeded at 175 with fuzz 3.

My include/global_constants.php from line 174 looks like:
define("SNMP_POLLER", 0);
define("SNMP_CMDPHP", 1);
define("SNMP_WEBUI", 2);

define('OPER_MODE_NATIVE', 0);
define('OPER_MODE_RESKIN', 1);
define('OPER_MODE_IFRAME_NONAV', 2);

?>

And now my cacti not work corretly. Broken links and no images. Any idea ?

Software version:
cacti-0.8.7d.tar.gz
cacti-plugin-0.8.7d-PA-v2.4.zip

I'd double-check your file permissions on all files/directories.[/quote]

Problem was with pictures and links path. Cacti was installed in web server subdirectory (in my environment http://deb/cacti2) and without plugin arch. worked correctly. For example images was at http://deb/cacti2/image.png. But after the patch was applied image path changed to http://deb/image.png. Afted made subdomain all works fine. I'm new in cacti but I think it's not normal behaviour.

Ahh.. I think somewhere in the instructions for PIA there is a note that if your cacti installation is not in the root of the webserver you need to go modify the include/global.php file. Look for url_path line:



in your case, I think your url_path should be:

Yes, this is the solution. Thanks for your help.

when I update cacti to 0.8.7d, The patch PA 2.4 file doesn't work .

I have many errors....

?

Is the PA 2.4 current with the latest patches? If not, its pre-patched files should be updated so they are for those who can't use a patching utility.
