poller refused to update, had to modify include/global.php..

[strlen]

Hi,

I just did an upgrade of our cacti. After this upgrade the poller wouldn't update anymore, after 5 minutes I'd get the timeout message (POLLER: Poller[0] Maximum runtime of 298 seconds exceeded.) and nothing happened.

So after 3 hours of debugging I noticed it didn't read the settings from our database, in fact it didn't seem to use the database at all.

So I changed in include/global.php these lines:

Code: Select all

/* connect to the database server */
db_connect_real($database_hostname, $database_username, $database_password, $database_default, $database_type, $database_port);

To:

Code: Select all

/* connect to the database server */
global $cnn_id;
$cnn_id = db_connect_real($database_hostname, $database_username, $database_password, $database_default, $database_type, $database_port);

And now the poller can update again..

Why did I have to do this? What's wrong in my installation?

You should apply the latest SVN copy of lib/database.php. Also, poller.php has been modified. If you are running the PIA, you will need PIA2.9beta2, plus the lib/database.php. Otherwise, just poller.php and lib/database.php from SVN.

I'm attempting to link up with our package manager to get the patches posted to the main web site today. No promises. In the mean time, you can obtain the PIA from the Plugins section of the forum, and the updated files w/o PIA from the main cacti web site.

I'd like to do a svn checkout but..

# svn checkout svn://svn.cacti.net/cacti
svn: Can't connect to host 'svn.cacti.net': Connection timed out
