Forward and backward slashes in url's sometimes used wrong

[crimson]

I've setup Cacti 8.7b on Windows XP. Almost everything works great, except that slashes in url's are sometimes wrong. For example http://localhost/cacti/\cacti\logout.php instead of http://localhost/cacti/logout.php. Turned out to be $config['url_path'] was set to '\cacti\' instead of '/cacti/'. Added the following lines to include/plugins.php after line 40:

Code: Select all

if ($config["cacti_server_os"] === "win32") { 
  $config['url_path'] = str_replace("\\", "/", $config['url_path']); 
}

Now everything works okay again. However, I haven't found other users reporting the same problem, so is this a bug or is something wrong with my installation?

Operating System: Windows XP SP2
Webserver: IIS6
Cacti: 0.8.7b
Spine: n/a
MySQL: 5.x
PHP: 5.2.5
RRDTool (Cygwin or Win32 version): 1.2
Net-SNMP: 5.x
Cygwin (cygwin1.dll version): n/a
Plugin Architecture: ?

Edit: this problem is obvious only in Firefox because it breaks the whole layout. In IE, you have to check the html source to see the problem as IE isn't so strict and it doesn't break the layout.

Must be something else you're doing with windows/IIS. I've been running cacti for years on windows 2003 and xp, using FF, and never have ran into this problem before.

include/plugins.php is installed with the plugin architecture, so this is a problem with that, not cacti.

Moving.

you are not alone with this problem (It's a PA2.0 problem)
