Upgrade to cacti 0.8.7h on debian squeeze

[yaka2b]

Hi

I currently have Cacti 0.8.7g and API 2.8 running on Debian Squeeze ( Debian 6.0) , is there a recommended way to upgrade to Cacti 0.8.7h and API 3.0 ?

Will plugins installed under API 2.8 work seamlessly?

If it breaks, no worries , I can do a whole new install as I am just starting to add devices. http://forums.cacti.net/posting.php?mode=post&f=2#

There may be some problems upgrading. Best to give it a test run before you proceed.

I did a fresh install.==>Cacti 0.8.7g and API 2.8 running on Debian Squeeze ( Debian 6.0)
Apache Version Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) ,PHP 5.3.3-7+squeeze3 with Suhosin-Patch.

Now get error whenever the "Console" or "graphs" tab is clicked:

tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log

PHP Notice: A session had already been started - ignoring session_start() in /var/www/cacti/include/global.php on line 151



Should I change line 151 like so or something else: I am not a php programmer.

if(session_id() == "")
{
start_session();
}

Error in line 1 above : Should have read:

Cacti 0.8.7h and API 3.0

Sorry.

Looks like Debian is invoking

session.auto_start = 1

in Apaches php.ini file.

That fixed it. Much appreciated.

in /etc/php5/cli/php.ini

; Initialize session on request startup.
; http://php.net/session.auto-start
session.auto_start = 0

in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

; Initialize session on request startup.
; http://php.net/session.auto-start
session.auto_start = 1

Changed to 0.

Cheers
