[Jaunty] [Server] Nagvis is reporting an error on using WUI

[Thermaltaker]

Binary package hint: nagvis

please try to create a map an add an host to this, then save. You will get following message:

Warning: require(/usr/share/nagvis/wui/includes/functions/form_handler.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/share/nagvis/htdocs/wui/form_handler.php on line 39

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/usr/share/nagvis/wui/includes/functions/form_handler.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /usr/share/nagvis/htdocs/wui/form_handler.php on line 39

I look for this /usr/share/nagvis/wui/includes/functions/form_handler.php but it isnt there.

This appears to be the only file missing after comparing to the official tarball.
form_handler.php attached for convenience (from official tarball)
place in /usr/share/nagvis/wui/includes/functions/ (you'll need to create the functions directory.)
Bug has been reopened upstream.

There is still something strange with the paths.

uname -a
Linux gibbs 2.6.31-17-generic-pae #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 17:23:29 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

Ubuntu-Version: Karmic

Package-Version (apt-cache show nagvis):
Version: 1:1.3.1-2
Filename: pool/universe/n/nagvis/nagvis_1.3.1-2_all.deb

The absolute path in nagvis.ini.php is set to /usr/share/nagvis/htdocs/.

The automap works well, but not the "Host Hover". I used Firebug to recognize which paths are incorrect.
A workaround for me was copying the files:

root@host:/usr/share/nagvis/htdocs/nagvis/includes# cp -a /usr/share/nagvis/includes/* .

After that, the Host Hovers work fine, too. But if I want to save the Config by WUI, I got a new include-Error: /usr/share/nagvis/wui/includes/functions/form_handler.php is missing. This directory "function" does not exist:

root@host:/usr/share/nagvis# find . -name form_handler.php
./htdocs/wui/includes/form_handler.php
./htdocs/wui/form_handler.php

My workaround:

root@host:/usr/share/nagvis/wui/includes# mkdir functions
root@gibbs:/usr/share/nagvis/htdocs/wui/includes# cp form_handler.php /usr/share/nagvis/wui/includes/functions/

Then most of things work! I know that this copying is not very nice, but I want to figure out, where's the problem.

Dennis, the host hover stuff seems to be related to the Debian bug #545680 ( http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=545680 ). Fixing the includes there partially resolved my issues with the host hover, however I then had to tweak some lines as ereg is deprecated, and needs to be changed to preg_match and add slashes in GlobalMainCfg.php and GlobalMapCfg.php.
