Description Paolo 2006-10-14 07:46:38 UTC

Like the summary tells, I suggest that the ebuild should check to see if "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1" in /etc/php/cgi-php4/php.ini otherwise cacti would not let users login. Or it should write it on the help at the end of the installation.

Thank you,
P.

Odd, I don't have cgi enabled and I can login fine. Perhaps I might try recompiling php with cgi support and see what happens.

I'm sorry of not being clear: I mean that the problem is when cacti is run by a cgi php.
So you should recompile it with "cgi" flag, and then use the cgi version to run Cacti. You can try it using Lighttpd, without changing the Apache you may have installed or vice versa.

I did not manage to reproduce bug with php-4 build as cgi and apache. All works fine here.

$ awk 'BEGIN{FS="="} /(^[^;]cgi.fix_pathinfo)/{if($2=1) print "exist"}' \
/etc/php/cgi-php4/php.ini
exist

Paolo: Could you, please, post your confirm that you still manage to reproduce this bug with cacti-0.8.6i-r1? And if so then attach you php.ini and lighttpd configuration files. Thank you.
