I believe the megaman fix to be secure.

Hi,

I also observed this behavior. So, to make sure it runs, I just assured that alias path on the web-browser is the same as the cacti linux sub-folder.

Clarifying what I wrote above:

E.g.:
your alias on your browser: http://localhost/cacti/index.php
your cacti home folder: /home/cactiuser/cacti/

Cacti sub-folder: /cacti
Web-browser alias: /cacti

So cacti can find all files on both structures (alias and path).

It's a way around the bug, but doesn't solve it unfortunately. And you're also exposing yourself to potential future exploits by having a "standard" xxx/cacti form.

The FreeBSD port (and I assume Linux's "ports/rpm") install in a xxx/cacti folder and the modification of the Alias is to somewhat secure cacti from standard exploits that target xxx/cacti.

Hello!

I have the FreeBSD installation from ports:

I added some debug here:
Code:

                               echo "\nInvalid PHP_SELF Path \n";
                                echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] ;
                                echo " - ";
                                echo $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"];
                                echo " - ";
                                echo $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"];
                               exit;


This show me:
Invalid PHP_SELF Path /cacti/index.php - /usr/local/www/apache22/data - /usr/local/share/cacti/index.php

As we can see, this installed not under DOCUMENT_ROOT, but cacti checked for this.

I've got the same problem after upgrading using the Ubuntu Gutsy package, but I can't find global.php in /usr/share/cacti/site/include/

Any help?

Nope, not there either.

For Ubuntu Gutsy, the file you're looking for is '/usr/share/cacti/site/include/config.php'

The fix mentioned works.

For the record, same problem in Ubuntu Gutsy after upgrading the cacti package yesterday.

Fixed by applying Megaman's fix on /usr/share/cacti/site/include/config.php line 87.

Thanks.

I can confirm that upgrading cacti to 0.8.0.6h on Ubuntu Dapper 6.06 LTS breaks cacti but this fixes it.

edit /usr/share/cacti/site/include/config.php

Look at line 86

Replace this line

Code:
if (!((is_file($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"])) && (substr_count($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"], $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"])))) {


With this

Code:
if (!((is_file($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"])))) {


I had to run through the install process after doing this. All my data was still there.

Hope this helps.
