It appears that the issue with the "DB_CONN" variable not being set can be corrected by changing line 239 from:

Code: Select all


function db_fetch_insert_id()

to:

Code: Select all


function db_fetch_insert_id($db_conn = FALSE)


I am not sure it this breaks anything in the function but the error is no lnoger generated on the web page and it is how nearly all of the other functions are defined in the file.

The error message it generates:

Code: Select all



Notice: Undefined variable: db_conn in /usr/local/cacti/lib/database.php on line 243

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/local/cacti/lib/database.php:243) in /usr/local/cacti/graph_templates_items.php on line 205

It appears that the error only occurs when trying to save this one item, but it does correctly update the Graph Item Inputs and add the input back into the list. If I go back one page and then try to save again it works without issue.
I did not receive any error message, but the bug is obvious. So I fixed it in SVN 0.8.7 branch and tags. The solution is as given above

Problems with PIA zip file

Post by mduling »

Why would I be getting stuff like this (truncated) when unzipping PIA v2.3? With 2.1 I used a tar file and everything was fine.

files-0.8.7c\auth_changepassword.php: mismatching "local" filename (files-0.8.7c/auth_changepassword.php),
continuing with "central" filename version
warning: /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/cacti/cacti-plugin-0.8.7c-PA-v2.3.zip appears to use backslashes as path separators
files-0.8.7c\auth_login.php: mismatching "local" filename (files-0.8.7c/auth_login.php),
continuing with "central" filename version

Is the Windows Spine 0.8.7c link supposed to be the binary (as it used to be) - looks like source to me?

Is pia2.1 still working with cacti 0.8.7c or just 2.3?
what about pre pia2.1 plugins? do they still work?

Have the pre-forementioned bugs above been put in to the SVN code tree?

Also, does anyone know if Boost works with 87c?

Hi there

I think I just discovered a tiny little bug in cacti 0.8.7c. I not sure whether is it a bug or has it been reported or not.

Here is it:
Under "Graph Management", when I type "base" (without double quote) in the search area, it will return those graph that has "base" word inside BUT the search parameter change from "base" to "ba<x>se"

This is fixed in svn by the latest lib/database.php

Boost 2.x works fine with 087c. I would not be running anything else but 2.x.

Not until the package maintainer does so. I would suspect they are awaiting the next patch that we are actively getting ready to deploy in order to catch several gotcha's in the initial 0.8.7c release code.

Upgraded to PA 2.3 and 0.8.7c(from b) a few days ago, didn't have a single problem.

The only thing I noticed is the difference in "View SNMP Cache".
When set on "Any", nothing is displayed.

Big thanks to all the developers!!

Hmm, I am not sure how to describe my issue, but this can be a potential bug in the recent Cacti release. Let me try though:

I have a bunch of templates (IIS cennection statistics, WeatherBug etc.) These templates worked perfectly fine in Cacti 0.8.6 simply by importing them. However, when I import them to Cacti 0.8.7c they no longer render. I was able to pinpoint this to the wrong Consolidation Function being set on all of these graph templates (it was set to LAST when graph item type was set to "AVERAGE".) If I edit the graph template and change the CF for these items to AVERAGE, my graphs start working immediately. The real question is whether this is a BUG? I do not remember seeing these issues in older rev of Cacti. I did not have to edit my graph templates either.

Can you guys look into this?

Thanks,
AL
