Failed when when I create more than 4 maps

Post by studionews »

Hi

When I create more than 4 maps the fiveth doesn't good.

Why ? Can't we not create more than 4 maps ?

Check these things in your php.ini:

; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
post_max_size = 20M (default is much lower)

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 10M (default is much lower)

Also make sure you are giving php enough memory in php.ini as well.

Answer to your question is, yes, more than 4 maps works fine. Good luck.

How/Why do these two make a difference? I'm curious...

Anyway, memory_limit does for sure, and indeed you can have many more than 4 maps. Memory should be released between maps in the poller too, so the memory_limit should only affect the size of one map, rather than the total size of all maps. If not, I've broken something somewhere...
Weathermap 0.98a is out! & QuickTree 1.0. Superlinks is over there now (and built-in to Cacti 1.x).
Some Other Cacti tweaks, including strip-graphs, icons and snmp/netflow stuff.

I could see that MAYBE the first option MIGHT have an effect, but the second should not.

I think this is the one that ended up doing the trick for me:


; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
post_max_size = 20M (default is much lower)

I found the information in another forum, because I was having the same problem - and I think it was because of the size of my map (over 2M - the default POST limit). I made both changes at the same time, so I am guessing that the above one is the one that mattered.

Which is weird, because weathermap doesn't use POST requests at all (OR uploads). I guess this is some typical PHP quirk. The manual doesn't mention any link between locally created files and post_max_size. That's why I asked. Gotta love PHP :P

Hi,

I tested in my php.ini that :


; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
post_max_size = 20M (default is much lower)

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 10M (default is much lower)

Now all is right !!!!!!!!!! I can create more than 4 maps

Thank you very much

glad that you got it working. Just out of curiosity, which one of the two/three settings did the trick for you (if you know)? Also, what was the file size your 4th map? Thanks.
