Version 1.2.2 issues...

Post by camerabob »

OK, so I installed Spine and some of my graphs stopped working. I tried to rebuild the poller cache but receive a 500 error. OK, then reinstall. Can't do that... 1.1.36 is no longer available??? I'm on 1.2.2|

Is this on the box I have access to? If so, I'll dive in and take a look.

Downloading packages:
Delta RPMs disabled because /usr/bin/applydeltarpm not installed.
For some reason, the cacti update is using a delta package update and as you don't have the appropriate utils, it won't apply it. Probably because you had 1.2.2 plain installed and this is trying to patch it.

So I did a yum install deltarpm and then attempted the cacti update again, but got:

Complete!
It is like the update is attempting to rename a folder but fails to do so or something like that . I've put a shout out to Morten Stevens who handles the CentOS packaging to see if he has any ideas.

Looking further into this, you appear to have had a history of failed updates.

A year ago, an update from 1.1.36 to 1.1.37 had the first issue with the rra directory:

That is very strange. There is no indication of that from the GUI. It tells me the version I believed to have installed...

Yes, you do in fact have 1.2.2 installed, but the packages are somewhat confuddled by having a real valid RRA directory instead of a symlink to /var/lib/cacti/ (I think it's that folder).
