Config Backup plugin help

[DarkLogix]

Sorry for taking so long to get back I came down with a bit of a cold.

So I downloaded the new file from
https://docs.cacti.net/plugin:routerconfigs

Extracted it's contents and renamed the folder from "plugin_routerconfigs-develop" to "routerconfigs" then I uploaded that folder to the server.
Stopped Cacti via "systemctl stop httpd"
copied the new contents to the routerconfigs plugin folder via
"cp -Rf /home/(myusename)/routerconfigs/* /usr/share/cacti/plugins/routerconfigs/"
started cacti via "systmctl start httpd"

Then in the utilities section I no longer see router configs, but under plugin management I see it there, so i tried uninstall/reinstall via the plugin management (I figure only one devices ATM so should be easy to recreate) but now it gives the error
Plugin directory is not correct. Should be " but is 'routerconfigs'

Can you get me a listing of your plugins directory and the routerconfigs directory?

[DarkLogix]

See attached.

OK, looks OK so far. Two more bits of information, can you get me the contents of the INFO file and run the following SQL command:

Code: Select all

select * from plugin_config

[DarkLogix]

I had to add the command "USE cacti" for the DB part.

OK so you haven't got the plugin installed and you can't actually install it. Does your cacti DB user have rights to modify the schema (ie, create temporary tables etc?) if not, that could be messing things up

started cacti via "systmctl start httpd"

The one thing I would have done differently would have been to rename the old routerconfigs folder (to routerconfigs.old or .version), then renamed the new folder to 'routerconfigs'. This way you have a complete install without any of the old code hanging around inadvertently. That's what I did when I updated all my plugins, and I haven't had a single hiccup.

I think the cacti DB user has the needed rights, because previously it was able to load the prior version of the plugin.

Ok so now I removed the routerconfigs directory and all files in it, then copied the directory from the zip (the newer one) did chown to give the dir and all it's files to root, and chmod to set the perms to 766 (hope that's good) and restarted httpd.

Now Cacti isn't showing any plug-in.

Sorry, I'm away at the moment so I will have to look again at this once I'm back. There is a word of warning from 1.4, there is a Backups folder placed in the routerconfigs folder. This is the default archive location of the plugin. You can change that, but if you don't renaming or removing the current folder will result in a loss of being able to view backups as they are no longer stored in the database.

You haven't set any SSH credential details as they are all blank. Even the password shows as (not set) to highlight this

That is expecting to find a "#" or ">" prompt. What is the prompt when you connect manually?

I'm getting "Press any key to continue" when I try to connect manually, then I'm having "#"
