I removed the rrdtool, wich was from the suse media. I compiled RRDtool 1.2.15 (the suse version was the same) and install it. I recompiled psycopg-1.1.21, the cronjob produced a error. After this restartapache,tomcat,postgresql and nav Even pping and servicemon started the first time. No errormail from the cronjobs, everythings looks fine, til i login in nav: error File "/usr/local/nav/lib/python/nav/web/state.py", line 250, in __new__ raise e Maybe i have to rebuild more modules?

You don't specify which version of NAV you are running, but I'm sure you're not using anything earlier than 3.1.1. We fixed a long standing problem with missing link load in the Traffic Map in that version, but you may be experiencing a different problem. The Traffic Map applet requests its data from the vPServer servlet running in the Tomcat container; the vPServer component calls the vprrd.py script to retrieve the actual RRD data, and something might have gone wrong during the calling of this script. I have to go now, but I will get back to you on this later, when I figure out whether there are any logs you can check to find the problem. -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better Globetrotter.

Is there any work around or the only way is > to downgrade to a lower version of postgresql I don't see any workaround other than downgrading PostgreSQL :-( I've just looked at the code that creates the offending SQL statement - it looks hairy, but I'll try to fix it. I can post the patch here when it's done, if you like. -- mvh Morten Brekkevold UNINETT >From morten.brekkevold at uninett.no Tue Sep 11 14:45:30 2007 From: morten.brekkevold at uninett.no (Morten Brekkevold) Date: Tue Sep 11 13:47:41 2007 Subject: [Nav-users] Re: rrdtool and other problems on Suse 10.2 In-Reply-To: 46E19A5D.7050305@mels-kooijman.nl References: 200709031022.52942.barbieri.marco@unimore.it 46DFC491.4070702@uninett.no 46E04EA1.3010906@mels-kooijman.nl 46E13E6C.3020600@uninett.no 46E19491.2050804@mels-kooijman.nl 46E19A5D.7050305@mels-kooijman.nl Message-ID: 46E67FDA.3030101@uninett.no Mels wrote, On 07-09-2007 20:37: > That problem solved, was ownership of a few files. > > Everything looks fine, start playing with nav.

The main advantage that i could see would be skipping through the "Installing on Centos 4.4" faq, reconfiguration would be limited at network parameters, the generation of SSL certificate and... and what?
