[TheWitness]

All,

There are a few post 0.8.6b patches that should be considered critical. The patches address the following bugs:

1) Saving User Graph Settings from User Management Broke
2) Recache Causes Poller to Hang and RRD Files to Stop Updating
3) Database Connectivity Errors

There are also seveal updates to CACTID since's it's 0.8.6b release. These are available via CVS for now.

Hi Larry,

I applied all the patches ... the warning message from the poller is gone.



I still have the graph problem ...

Message is (using the cpu utilization of my only device):

RRDTool Says:

I believe Willie indicated that this is an Authentication problem with Windows Server 2003. He provided a workaround. I think if you search the site via Google or via the search above, you can find some help on fixing.

Using Redhat - how do you apply the patches? Thanks!

[TheWitness]

Simply download the patches from the patches directory and apply in the correct directories. Most go into lib, others go into the root. There may be 1 file that goes into include. Edit the files to verify.

[TheWitness]

Sounds about right. It's easier just to know where the files go and to replace them though in my mind.

[dev2dev]

can i get the updated files ?coz i tried updating (only the auto_reindex_poller patch) and i am sure i havn't done any mistake, its started giving me the same only error undefined function ... at line 323
then i have to replace with the original and reboot the system

i am not sure, but do I have to reboot the system every time i make changes? its their any better option available?

[TheWitness]

No.

[xcitiman]

I've got the files downloaded into the directories they're supposed to be downloaded to, but how do you execute them to apply the patch??

-X-

[TheWitness]

If you download the files into the correct directories, then all is done.

We just have to replace the old *.php with the new ones ?

Is the .patch files are defined to work with 'patch' command under linux ?

[TheWitness]

Yes. Provided you have not customized, the patch command will work fine.

Ok thx, i just replaced the *.php and it works fine
