Cacti 0.8.7b and 0.8.6k release - IMPORTANT SECURITY UPDATES

Hi all

I tried 2 times and this is what I get/found.

I use the 0.8.7b and then apply the Plugin Architecture 2.0 using the patch method. I get alot of files that rejects from patching. It is like incompatible or does not telly.

I then tried using the pre-patched filed included in the PA 2.0 and overwrite my 0.8.7b. Import the PA.SQL files and after that, try to access it, I get no graphics. It is like the patch to the webpages are wrong.
e.g,
my cacti is in http://123.123.123.123/cacti
But after the PA 2.0, the link inside the cacti become like /cacti/i/

@super-hornet:
found this somewhere:

try adding a line to cacti/site/include/plugins.php

at the bottom of the file you will find:

define('URL_PATH', $config['url_path']);

change to:

$config['url_path'] = '/cacti/';
define('URL_PATH', $config['url_path']);

and replace '/cacti/' with your url.

Thsi fixed it for me.

This tip fixed the images problem. Thanks! But one last hurdle for me are the errors below. Anyone have a solution for that with PA 2.0 and Cacti 0.8.7b? And yes, this has been posted in the PA forum, but I see no answers so I'm asking here out of desperation. I did a fresh Cacti install and I imported the PA schema and edit global.php for MySQL info. Thanks.

Hi guys,

The patch "Invalid Upgrade Path from 0.8.6k Fix" posted on the official patches for 0.8.7b page is still broken (malformed patch).
Identation must have been lost on the way.

http://www.cacti.net/download_patches.php?version=0.8.7b
http://www.cacti.net/downloads/patches/0.8.7b/upgrade_from_086k_fix.patch

Please replace with a sane/tested version.

Thanks
Stefan

Their is a big bug in cacti , in which it asks to change the "admin" password without login.

type the following url in browser and replace x.x.x.x with your cacti ip .
http://x.x.x.x/auth_changepassword.php?ref=index.php&action=changepassword&username=admin&password=aaaaaa&confirm=aaaaaa&submit=Save

It will change the admin password without any delay.

test it out immediately . I have tested it on latest cacti-0.8.7b version also.

I'm running 0.8.7a and cannot confirm your report. The URL you posted will NOT change the admin password in my cacti installation.

Unable to reproduce on either Cacti 0.8.7 or Cacti 0.8.6.

Make sure that you are NOT logged in when you attempt to change the password.
