1.8.3 problem

[irvined]

Hi,

I have had a 1.8.2 installation working (from a yum repository) with mysql

I have been monitoring a number of test servers correctly. I had problems creating maps, suggestions were to upgrade to 1.8.3

I compiled 1.8.3 without problems and completed the web GUI installation without issue. The front page displays the login screen as normal but the top menus are not active. When I log in as admin I still get no activity of the top menus. If I replace index.php with report1.php or overview.php the screen displays as you would expect. Tabs below the top menu then are active.

I have the code installed in /var/www/html/zabbix on Centos 5 with all the recommended packages. I have the 1.8.2 tree saved as zabbix.old If I rename the directories so that apache looks at the 1.8.2 version then everything works as before (including the map problems)

Anyone have any ideas what the problem might be? Nothing is showing up in httpd/error.log

Regards,

Doug

update

Further investigation shows this is related to javascript.

I have installed a javascript debugger:

When you hover the mouse over the menu entries you get:

[e] message = [string] "MMenu is not defined"
Error ``ReferenceError: MMenu is not defined'' [x-] in file ``http://10.206.136.167/zabbix/index.php'', line 1, character 0.

I'm wondering if there is another package I need to have installed?

Cheers,

Doug

For me this problem got resolved with a directory symlink:
/usr/share/zabbix/js/scriptaculous -> /usr/share/javascript/scriptaculous

This is Debian dpkg install using Debian builtin js libraries.

In general you have to dig into your browser debug console window (or page media info or whatever) and see broken links to .js files it cannot load, then resolve the problem why it cannot do so - either it is wrong apache config or symlinks or permissions.

Same problem

It turns out that somehow every ' is escaped by \ and Javascript code does not load ...

Symlinked prototype.js - same situation: every ' escaped by \ in browser...

Update

Frontend from 1.8.2 works OK with zabbix-server 1.8.3.

I am having this same problem, but after I update a template. And the error pops up every time I even cross over to the menus.
