Zabbix agent broken on 2.4.4? PHP error

faust

Sure, sorry, I was concentrated on resolving the problem.
Ok, digged a bit, this is what I found (but I could not find any logs) :

no log folder (/var/log/zabbix-agent/)
no configuration file /usr/local/etc/zabbix40/zabbix_agentd.conf
service does not restart from status_services.php

I tried to remove zabbix-agent-4 and install 3.4 branch, same problem. Creating log folder and conf file did not resolve the pb.

I could do some test if you want, I have a bunch of pfSense ready to upgrade to 4-1.0.3 branch.

faust

I have to go now, sorry.
I will check this tomorrow if needed.

I can confirm that 1.0.3 (both zabbix_agent34 and zabbix_agent4) does not seem to be able to start. I have a freshly updraded to pfSense 2.4.4 firewall that I believe received 1.0.3 during the update which I did tonight. Zabbix agent fails to start. I also have another pfsense 2.4.4 firewall that was upgraded a week or so ago and previously had Zabbix 1.0.2 working fine. Upon updating the Zabbix package to 1.0.3 tonight using the package manager, it will no longer start.

Should all be fixed now in 1.0.4

Confirmed that 1.0.4 is able to start again. Thanks jimp.

Hi, I still se the same issue (1.0.4):

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc:790

Do you have any other packages installed on that box?
Was something done to the configuration on that firewall to remove packages at any point?

Try going to Diag > Command and in the PHP exec box, run this:

$config['installedpackages'] = array();
write_config('Add installedpackages container');

And then try the install again.

jimp

Or try the attached patch

I'm seeing similar issues with zabbix-agent
Had zabbix-agent 34 installed on 2.4.3-RELEASE-p1
Disabled zabbix-agent from Menu Service/Zabbix....
Uninstalled zabbix-agent 34
Installed zabbix-agent 4, and got the following error.

Executing custom_php_install_command()...PHP ERROR: Type: 1, File: /usr/local/pkg/zabbix-agent.inc, Line: 121, Message: Call to undefined function init_config_arr()pkg-static: POST-INSTALL script failed

Zabbix is no longer in the Services Menu. Could this be related to 2.4.3-RELEASE-p1? I can't schedule that PF upgrade until 11/12/18.

That's because you installed a 2.4.4 package on 2.4.3-p1. You need to upgrade to 2.4.4 first. Start a new thread to discuss that, it isn't related to this problem.

That is strange, I thought, this was no more possible (https://forum.netgate.com/topic/136355/shared-object-libdl-so-1-not-found-required-by-openvpn/28).

BTW, I can not find the diff or the commit between 1.0.2/1.0.3/1.0.4 version, I have just found this https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-ports/commits/devel but is there any other repo to see what was done?

Thanks.

Some people still manage to do it somehow. We've done all we can on the server side, though. Firewalls should be picking up the new pfSense-upgrade change when it does an update check. That's still not related to this topic, though, so it belongs in another thread.

But your original problem is unlikely related to just this package. See my posts above, https://forum.netgate.com/post/799954 and then a patch for you to try at https://forum.netgate.com/post/799957

@jimp I reinstalled the zabbix-agent 34, and still got the same problem. I guess all zabbix-agents were updated to 2.4.4! I guess I'll just wait until I update to 2.4.4

@ashes00 See my precedent post, if you can get the old version of the pkg, you could reinstall it by CLI.

jimp

OK, I was able to reproduce your original issue on a fresh 2.4.4 VM with some config editing. It had nothing to do with zabbix, but that was the first package you tried to install.

The patch I posted a few replies up was the fix.

write_config('Add installedpackages container');

No other packages installed. Nothing has been done to remove packages to my knowledge.

I tried to run the command, seemed to execute ok.
Then tried installing Zabbix 3.2, but with an issue:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc:790

Might be an idea to try the patch instead?
How should I install the patch?

Thanks.

jimp

Install the System Patches package and make a new entry for b77f0bf1311b617793dc40ea779512eb24805727 and then fetch/apply.

After that you should be able to install packages.

Thanks, but kind of biting my own tail here:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc:790

Any alternatives to get the patch installed?

jimp

Ah, yeah, catch-22 there. Duh. Clearly my coffee hasn't kicked in yet.

Try this from an ssh shell or the Diagnostics > Command page in the shell exec box:

curl https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/b77f0bf1311b617793dc40ea779512eb24805727.diff | patch --directory=/ -p2 --ignore-whitespace

Yes, that worked :-) Zabbix 3.2 installed! Thanks!

Will this also work on 2.4.3?
