Release of Cacti 0.8.7h

[rudw0lf]

My question may sound stupid but how to compile from svn? Where can I find instructions? I apologize for my English, I use google translate.

I just upgraded from the "g" version to "h". It accidentally happend with the normal update run within suse, although a thought about doing the upgrade anyway...

After going throug the cacti upgrade procedure i get a blank page in this url http://localhost/cacti/install/index.php
Also the first time the sql statements have executed, but when i try again going through the upgrade procedure it says no sql was executed. The path information ist all green, after this the blank page appears.

When i go to the Cacti URL http://cactiserver/cacti expecting the logon screen the upgrade procedure window reappears...

The Apache and MySQL configuration looks OK to me. I also can see the new creation dates for certain files and folders in the cacti folder

I do not know where i can look for errors or what happend at all.

I just hope that my old cacti data are still somewhere to be found and can be rescued.

What to do now?

My primary setup several month ago i did after this procedure http://en.opensuse.org/Cacti

---

A day later... early morning 6,30 AM...

The rra files are still updating, so cacti seems to be well under the hood. I'm still trying to find what causes the empty page right after the upgrade finishes where in a better world the Cacti Logon should appear...

I would back off the change. Don't know quite how to do that for you. I would start by doing a fresh 'file' install over your existing install. It's likely that nothings broken but the web site.

I'm assuming you are talking about spine? If so, download the svn copy and then run the 'bootstrap' script. After that, simply follow the instructions.

It looks like a broken website-Apache-php issue. I do not know how to revert the upgrade... doing a fresh file install? The rra files are still updating... i'm really glad about this. Even the automatic reports from Cereus Reporting are still comming in.... Now i've got a time zone error, a missing file/stream...

Edit apache's PHP.INI file and set the 'date.timezone' variable to your TZ. For example, here it's "America/Detroit". Then restart apache. Also, do the same for the CLI's PHP.INI file.

Hello, i made this correction for the time zone. The entries are gone Thank you !

But this remains... with Cacti still running below the blank page...some luck there at least. I do not understand why i get through the upgrade procedure without error messages but only get a blank page. The default Cacti URL always brings me back to the upgrade screen... !?

The cacti error log is free from any error messages except some snmp timeouts....

[TheWitness]

It's a fatal error. If you take the Cerious Reporting plugin out (move the directory) does the problem go away? Also, is the $url_path = '/cacti/' in config.php?

Hello again !

This was confusing for me. In someconfig.php files the path $url_path = '/cacti/' is there, in some it is not. I think it is something to do with the suse distribution. I put it there and (with the same negative result) but then... (r)moving the nmid Plugins did it !

Cacti Upgrade ist OK, Cacti Logon ist OK... I'm really really very glad... a simple cut/paste operation !!

Thank's a lot... really !

Kind regards.

What a nasty bug ... found the root cause of it:

In the setup.php file of the nmidSmokeping plugin the following lines (24 and 25) need to be changed:

Code: Select all

chdir ($mainDir);
require_once('./lib/tree.php');

to

Code: Select all

//chdir ($mainDir);
require_once($mainDir.'/lib/tree.php');
