Problems Cacti 1.1.31 Multiple Pollers

[latota007]

Hi everbody,
I'm having problems installing Remote Poller. I followed all the steps in the new book (Cacti 1.0 Beginner's Guide Second Edition) but I can't get the installation to finish. Specifically when I select in the Wizzard "New Remote Poller" an error appears saying that the config.php file does not have write permissions. When I check the file it has write permission, I have even used "chmod 777 config.php" but the error still continues. Has anyone had the same problem?
Regards.

So the line of code that sets base_path is in global.php and reads:

Code: Select all

$config['base_path']    = str_replace("\\", "/", substr(dirname(__FILE__),0,-8));

This is the used in the install/index.php with the following:

Code: Select all

if (is_writable($config['base_path'] . '/include/config.php')) {
        $good_write = true;
} else {
        $good_write = false;
}

If the base_path is correct, then the chances are for some reason PHP is cache the status of the file. Try adding the following before the is_writable() call:

Code: Select all

clearstatchache()

see http://php.net/manual/en/function.clearstatcache.php for more information on the function.

Hi netniV,
Thanks for you reply!
I tried to add clearstatchache() function before "if (is_writable($config['base_path']..." but when i open the install web page nothing appear (blank page) and when comment the function the install page appear again with the same error.
I'm not a PHP programmer, only put the function without arguments. This is correct?

Would help if I could spell cache correctly There is an extra H after the C !

Code: Select all

clearstatcache();

LOL!!! Typical Layer 8 error
I corrected the word but the problem continues...

So if you could search for !$good_write, there will be an if statement then opening curly braces, followed by a print.

Can you add the following two lines:

Code: Select all

print '<p>Filename: '. $config['base_path'] . '/include/config.php';
print '</p>';

This will modify your installer to output the full path that it is performing the is_writable on.

On final thing, do you have SELinux turned on? Try running 'sestatus' at the command prompt and see whether what the returns. If it is enabled, it may explain why you have a readonly file that isn't actually readonly.

Yes, I just followed How-To in the New Book "Cacti 1.0 Beginner's Guide Second Edition"...

Have you restarted since setting permissive? Because the status there says enforcing which means that its not allowing things through I reckon.

[latota007]

I restarted server but it's the same and the error still continues.

Code: Select all

setenforce 1

will set it as permissive without reboot

Code: Select all

getenforce 

will show you current status as well, I'd recommend you to read this
or you can run

Code: Select all

audit2allow -a -M someName

and then install the policy to fix your permissions and live with selinux enabled.

I could fixed the problem guys. In "/etc/selinux/config" I had an error with syntax "SELINUX = permissive" so when server boots up never aplied the policy.
After fix this I could installed succesfully the new poller in my deployment
Thank you for assitance Pucho and netniV

Te deben faltar un par de posts mas o mas tiempo desde que creaste la cuenta, en fin.

Te pedia feedback respecto de la traduccion en español. El ultimo update que le hice fue en la version 1.1.15 o por ahi creo pero como la uso en ingles tampoco le di mucha bola.

La mayoria de la gente tecnica creo que usa cacti en ingles btw. Como sea, cuando se te habilite el PM respondeme por ahi de ultima asi no spammeamos todo el thread en español =D
