not a bug just dumb I guess! Weathermap 98a to 1.3.1

[edjchristopher]

I must be missing something, so let me say I am sorry to waste anyone's time. But I have been using Cacti and weathermaps
for quite a while, and I cannot see clear instructions on how to "upgrade" the weathermap plugin from 098a to v1.3.1. I have tested in non-prod, by disabling the plugin (DO NOT UNINSTALL), from the Linux console mv weathermap weathermap-old
copy the full repo (v1.3.1 dev) to weathermap folder and in the gui enable the new v1.3.1 weathermap. Obviously when I rename the 098a weathermap all of my current maps are in that folder structure. How to I convert them to this new version? Sorry to be a bonehead!

@edjchristopher, I'll have time to work on multiple issues after I wind down on Cacti 1.3 projects. I hope you will have time to collaborate as I don't have a real good use case for the tool in my home office.

[edjchristopher]

Sure I can help.

I was hopeful I could get weathermap v1.3.1 migration instructions as I cannot find any other than very old versions.

[edjchristopher]

Just reach out when you are ready!!

@TheWitness Sure I can help.

I was hopeful I could just get weathermap v1.3.1 migration instructions as I cannot find any other than very old versions.

What time zone are you in?

Eastern time zone

Okay, perfect.

OK so. I have never had any problems with Cacti, yet I cannot get this plugin to work. I have replicated our Prod Cacti which was a repo install 1.2.27. Add in this weathermap plugin v1.3.1 it looks like it did ok. I cannot create a new map even. So I blew away that server and did a fresh install 1.2.27 (repo again) with weathermap v1.3.1 and get the same results. Looks ok but will not function, even creating a new map.

Is it possible it may be the repo install? Should I just get your download and do it all over again?

Thoughts?? I assume this is working somewhere?!?

Bring up your browsers debug page and see if you see any JavaScript errors. Also check the Cacti log for errors. When you upgrade, Cacti will attempt to move asset's to new folders, so you have to make sure that the apache has full access to the plugin directory. If you pull the develop version, won't be able to install until you relocate the config.php.dist and move your output and config folders out of the plugin directory if you can manage it.

There could be bugs in that last bit. Good thing it's not production.

@TheWitness still working on getting the new weathermap to work. I am getting these 2 PHP errors ... make any sense??

Use the previous tag. I have a version that is in flight, but I won't be able to work on it till I have Cacti 1.3 ready for alpha/beta.

[alcatron]

I wouldnt bother going to anything newer, I still run Cacti 1.2.17 and weathermap 0.98a because anything after just becomes so broken, a real investment will take fixing the new weathermap versions to work like 0.98a and the newer cacti versions

Going to close this one.
