Cacti 1.2.21 php issue

[stigla7]

Hello,

Hopefully someone could help me with a issue.

I have installed Cacti 1.2.21 and everything went smooth during installation, but when I login, it shows me that
PHP - Recommendations (web) and PHP - Recommendations (cli) have few issues.
On PHP - Recommendations (web) problem is that max_execution_time 30 >= 60 and I have setup 60 (tried with bigger number also) in php.ini and it does not see it, memory_limit and date.timezone are good.
PHP - Recommendations (cli) has problem with memory_limit and date.timezone.
I am using php7.1 and also php-fpm.

Hopefully someone will be able to help.

Thanks in advance

Did you restart php-fpm after change the php.ini for the web config? Also there should be a separate php.ini for the cli, which is why you are getting different settings for it.

Thanks for reply.

Yes, php-fpm was restarted and that is not issue (and working as normal). Also, there are two php.ini file installed in whole system. I change on both of them just to try to see if any effect and nothing. I removed semi colon just in case you wonder. I tried with selinux disabled and still show same result.

Someone quicky told me something like php-fpm admin pool or something is to be changed but i did not understand really, maybe that could help…

Thanks again for answer

php-fpm has it's own timeout settings, and I've NOT been too successful at getting php-fpm to accept a "user defined" ini_set() value, which has driven me to drinking (more than I was before). So, there are two directives in php-fpm's configuration file that you need to be sensitive about. Let's look at the first, the php_admin_value:

Code: Select all

php_admin_value[max_execution_time] = 60

This php_admin_value means that if you change or attempt to change the value of max_execution_time in a script, or even in your default php.ini setting, neither will work. This setting is pretty scary for me. The next one is important.

Code: Select all

php_value[max_execution_time] = 60

The php_value settings should be changeable inside of Cacti scripts, and this is where I pull my hair out.

Lastly, there is this (which may explain the issue):

https://www.php.net/manual/en/configura ... .modes.php

and this:

https://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.changes.php

Which I have not assessed yet.

Looking forward to the feedback.

Hello again,

Quick update about progress.

On PHP-FPM (PHP Web) side in www.conf i have missed line php_admin_value[max_execution_time] = 60, so when i add this it works perfect.

Now problem remain within PHP cli (php.ini i guess).
Cacti does not allow me to move forward as it says that memory_limit is 128M and date.timezone report as Error.
I have change this both and removed comment line, with 512M for memory limit and correct date.timezone and it does not see changes.

Also, max_execution_time value in my php.ini is 60 and Current reported on Cacti is 0 and it Passed for some reason.

I am still looking around for solution for this

[stigla7]

Sadly, many lines in php.ini file were uncommented and that was error for me all the time.
Now it all work like charm.
Thanks a lot for your assistance, it helped alot!
