Hello,

I've installed the free version 0.85 of nmidcreatepdf, but as soon as I try to generate a report I get a blank page and in the logfile of my apache I found that the child process has been killed:

Tue Sep 21 12:56:34 2010] [notice] child pid 24457 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

this is the output of the debug.php file:

Anyone else encounters the same problem as I do? I have installed the latest version of ixed loader.

[phalek]

do you run php 5.3 ?

[hmorandell]

yes I run PHP5.3:

PHP Version 5.3.3

[phalek]

Then make sure you really have the latest ixed loaders up and running. I recently worked together with Sourcguardian to fix this issue and they have published the new ixed loaders on their website. The latest php 5.3 ixed loaders are from 24-08-2010.

[hmorandell]

YOU ARE RIGHT!!!!
Although I thought I had installed the latest loaders, I had to overwrite them and now it works!!!

Thank you very much for your kind and fast help!!!

[phalek]

No problem at all, just consider going to the Express Edition at some point as it will recieve some enhancements from time to time and costs less than a beer in Denmark ...

[hmorandell]

yes definitely considerig buying a pro version. Does pro version have automated sending email reports to given times?

[phalek]

Pro doesn't exist any more. The Corporate Edition can send out scheduled email reports and has some enhanced reporting capabilities ( SQL, Smokeping, Availability Charts ). It does also exists in a Single Server edition ... look at the latest news at the following page for more details.

http://redmine.nmid-plugins.de/projects ... tepdf/news

Also the UserGuide does provide information on the Corporate Version

Of course, you can request a trial to test it

Cacti poller does not work after enabling nmidCreatePDF plugin, here is the error"

php /usr/share/cacti/site/poller.php

PHP Warning: dl(): Dynamically loaded extensions aren't enabled in /usr/share/cacti/site/plugins/nmidCreatePDF/functions.php on line 2
PHP script <B>/usr/share/cacti/site/plugins/nmidCreatePDF/functions.php</B> is protected by <A HREF="http://www.sourceguardian.com/">SourceGuardian</A> and requires the SourceGuardian loader <B>ixed.5.3.lin</B>. The SourceGuardian loader has not been installed, or is not installed correctly. Please find the required loader within SourceGuardian installation directory or visit the <A HREF="http://www.sourceguardian.com/ixeds/">SourceGuardian php encoder</A> site to download it.

I am able to go to plugin management to disable/enable nmidCreatePDF but once nmidCreatePDF is enabled, graphs stopped working (all graphs are still under graphs tag, but no more new poll). According to the debug.php, SourceGuardian has been installed and enabled. I think i have followed every steps properly. What went wrong?

I am using ubuntu server 10.10 64-bit.

[phalek]

Please check if you have two separate php.ini files. One for the http server ( which you configured fine according to the debug output ) and one for the CLI.

The CLI one does either have this dl = off, or does not load the sourcguardian module with extension=ixed.5.3.lin in it.

That's what the PHP warnings are telling.

The poller runs under the php CLI,
Cacti Web interface is using the php HTTP module.

phalek - It works! You are the man!!!! Thanks a million + 1 ! =)
