Hi Tony
I tried a fresh install and an upgrade from 0.8.6g, and each time I had these errors :
| Code: | Notice: Undefined variable: config in /cacti/cacti-0.8.6h-beta2/install/index.php on line 74

On a fresh install, I noticed the log/ directory was missing.
About some of the new features :
- graphs & data templates filtering works fine
- "ability to add multiple hosts to a tree", how does it work ?
I've then tested polling with cmd.php and cactid 0.8.6d, and everything went fine (SNMP and Nagios Remote Plugins Executor requests).
Thanks for this new upcoming version !

I don't see those errors on my Win32 installation.
I've got PHP errors logging to a file and noticed two:
| Code: |
[11-Dec-2005 01:16:42] PHP Warning: unlink(c:/auntie/cacti/log/cacti.log): Permission denied in c:\auntie\cacti\utilities.php on line 201
[11-Dec-2005 01:16:42] PHP Warning: touch(): Utime failed: Permission denied in c:\auntie\cacti\utilities.php on line 202
|
This is caused when the IIS user account does not have Modify rights to the /cacti/log directory. Don't know if there is any way to make the error message more obious what is wrong for users?
| Code: |
[11-Dec-2005 20:36:28] PHP Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Access denied for user: 'cactiuser@localhost' (Using password: YES) in C:\auntie\cacti\lib\adodb\drivers\adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 355
|
Not sure what this is caused from. I see it tried this 21 times all within that second. No other errors since and everything appears to be working fine.

Hi again Tony
I can't get the "graph and data templates highlighting" to work with 0.8.6h beta 2 (using IE 6 / Fx 1.5); is there something special to do ?

Please check around line 486 of graph_templates.php to read | Code: | <a class="linkEditMain" href="graph_templates.php?action=template_edit&id=<?php print $template["id"];?>"><?php print eregi_replace("(" . preg_quote($_REQUEST["filter"]) . ")", "<span style='background-color: #F8D93D;'>\\1</span>", $template["name"]);?></a>
|
the eregi_replace bit is needed. Same holds for data_templates, respectively

Just updated my cacti testinstall from 086g to 086h with cactid-086g-beta3. Everything seems to be working fine. The bulkwalk feature accelerates the time for a device refresh definitely (eg. 12 sec. to 19 sec.).
System: fedora core 3, rrdtool 1.2.12, mysql 3.23.58, PHP 4.3.11, NET-SNMP version: 5.2.1.2

I was extremely busy this weekend and did not get a chance to work on another beta release. We have some fixes to some issues that I want people to test.
I hope to have another beta release Wednesday or so. But with the New Year and Christmas approaching very quickly here, it doesn't look like we will release 0.8.6h until after the new year.
