PCRE error

Post by joek »

With a FC3 minimal install, i add the following packages through yum:
gcc
gcc-c++
net-snmp
net-snmp-utils
net-snmp-devel
pcre-devel 4.5-3
libpng-devel
libjpeg-devel
freetype-devel
openldap-devel
openssl-devel
ncurses-devel
flex
pkgconfig

and build the following from source:
rrdtool
freetds
mysql 4.1
apache 2.0.52
php 4.3.10
cacti 0.8.6c

the error that i get is this:
Warning: preg_match_all: internal pcre_fullinfo() error -3 in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/cacti-0.8.6c/lib/functions.php on line 1392


some things i've tried:
building pcre-5 from source
building older cacti versions from source
building php 5 from source

nothing seems to eliminate this error message, which prevents me from using cacti

fc1

Post by joek »

i doubt it's FC3 or it's default and updated packages...because i did a FC1 fresh install today, with the same procedures and i get the same error

I would say you are missing a package that allows php to use regular expression. But, I'm not sure if that is the issue and if it was, I'm not sure of what packages would have it.

Search the php site/forums for answers?

php

Post by joek »

it may have been php itself
i tried 4.3.10 and 5
i just tried 4.3.8 and i don't get the error, but now i have SNMP problems
i can do an snmpwalk from the box, but cacti will not do SNMP queries.

does this have to do with permissions? httpd runs as user/group www

Post by joek »

httpd error logs say:
/usr/local/php/bin/snmpget doesn't exist but my path is set to /usr/bin/snmpget in cacti

/boggle

Ok, you guys are coming up with some stumpers today...

Ok, I don't know why it's appending the path like that. Check out your /etc/php.ini file. See of some sort of path configuration variable is screwing things up.

I would go after the /etc/php.ini file.

Make sure that Safe Mode is turned off. Otherwise, I'm not sure what will happen.. ;)

Yah!

One of 3 mystery problems solved.

*mental note, safe mode is good, but bad for cacti*

*will have to see if that can be fixed*
