Hi All

Do you have the plugin architecture installed ?

Did you edit config.php and add the plugin name ? You might also want to check that you have ticked the host info box under user management permissions.

humm

I dont have plugin architecture installed was looking at its installation guide and it says better to install on a new installation i have already everthing configure and many custom templates
this is a windows installation on win 2003R2 server

yes i did edit the config.php
and i can not see the check box in the admin user to enable host info

but i guess i will need to install the plugin architecture First
Is there a easy way to do it so that i dont kill my fully setup system
Or a windows install document

[hugsandy]

will this command work for installation of Plugin architecture
in windows if my cacti directory is c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cacti

patch -p1 -N < cacti-plugin-0.8.6i.diff


so if i open command prompt navigate to this directory and issue the above written command


Thanks

You can't use the patches, as I think these are for a linux system. have a ready of the documentation at www.cactiusers.org
