I just recently upgraded my cacti, and wanted to tell you what I needed
to do in order to install the plugin architecture.
This was not a install, mearly a upgrade. But it should illustrate what
changes need to be done after installing the prepatched files cacti-plugin.
i upgraded from lenny to squeeze + upgraded cacti from sid. (0.8.7g-1)
I downloaded the latest cacti-plugin-architecture from cactiusers.org [1]
after copying the prepatched files from the tarball's
cacti-plugin-arch/files-0.8.7g into /usr/share/cacti/site/
I also did a symlink from the debian /var/lib/cacti/rra directory to
where cacti expects it, with something like.
rra symlink ; ln -s /var/lib/cacti/rra /usr/share/cacti/site/rra
and I also needed to add the following line to /etc/cacti/debian.php ;
this ofcourse depends on the site.
$url_path = '/cacti/';
I had to edit the site/include/global.php and alter line 196 to say
include("/usr/share/php/adodb/adodb.inc.php");
I had to use the sid version of cacti. since cactiusers.org only
distribute the latest version of the patch at any given time.
It would be a big help for users of stable/testing, if the cacti
package, could include the matching cacti-plugin for the version in
question.
One of the most common problems is actualy finding the correct version
of the patch that matches the older version in debian.

Kind regards and thanks for your work on packaging cacti.
