Problem including /etc/cacti/db.php when 'short_open_tag = Off' in php.ini
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:48 EST
Description of problem: The database configuration file for the cacti package does not have the appropriate PHP tags and therefore is not included correctly from config.php when the 'short_open_tag = Off' is set in /etc/php.ini. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All versions of package I am assuming. I have latest cactid-0.8.5a-1 installed. How reproducible: Install on any FC5 box and look at the /etc/cacti/db.php file. The top line should be '<?php' and not '<?' Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum --enablerepo=extras install cacti 2. grep "<?" /etc/cacti/db.php 3. be stumped as to why php won't include correctly when you have 'short_open_tag = Off' in your /etc/php.ini file. Actual results: For this particular package on the web we get an error stating: ADONewConnection: Unable to load database driver '' Expected results: Cacti login page Additional info: In the error logs you will see
Oh yeah... it's an easy fix, but I just wanted to make sure that you guys were aware of this. We try to keep PHP code as strict as possible and short open tags is off in our environment. Just need to change the default to be <?php and it will work if short tags is on or off.
Updated, should be in the wild soon.
