[mrtg] Re: 2.9pre26 indexmaker problem?

[Adam Augustine]

I was thinking it might have been my own stupid misconfiguration, so I
emailed the list rather than harassing you directly. After I sent my posting
I saw another from Gaël Chabirand [gael.chabirand at cyberouest.fr], that
seemed to ask the same thing. I didn't mean to bother the list with the same
thing twice. Sorry.

I tried your fix and it worked perfectly. Thank you very much. It is great
to have a maintainer be so responsive.

So is this list the preferred place to report bugs? Or would you rather be
emailed directly? What about suggestions for improvements (I was thinking it
would be nice for a lost/failed SNMP query to show in a different color, as
well as being able to use unknaszero)?

Thanks for a great utility, and all your help,

	Adam

Today you sent me mail regarding [mrtg] 2.9pre26 indexmaker problem?:

*> 
*> I have had this problem with pre24, pre25, and now pre26. I have checked
the
*> list archives and the FAQ, but haven't found anything (maybe I am
searching

*> 
*> I run cfgmaker with the following command line:
*> 
*> ./cfgmaker --ifref=descr --global "LogDir: /var/mrtglogs" --global
"HtmlDir:
*> /home/httpd/html/mrtg" --global "ImageDir: /home/httpd/html/mrtg"
--global
*> "Options[_]: bits" --global "WriteExpires: Yes" --global "IconDir:
*> /usr/local/mrtg-2/lib/mrtg2/" --global "RunAsDaemon: Yes" --global
*> "Interval: 5" --global "WithPeak[_]: wmy" public at gapuna.inside.com >>
*> mrtg.cfg
*> 
*> And when I run "indexmaker mrtg.cfg" I get this error:
*> 
*> Can't use string ("gapuna.inside.com_ethernet0_0") as a SCALAR ref while
*> "strict refs" in use at ./indexmaker line 205.
*> 
*> My suspicion is that it is choking because I used the --ifref=descr
option
*> when I generated my mrtg.cfg, but I wanted to get a second opinion before
*> moving on to manually editing the files to add the interface
descriptions.
*> 
*> In any case, if it is a bug, then is the list the proper reporting place?
*> The docs say Mr. Oetiker appreciates feedback, but it doesn't seem to
*> specify the exact method.

the fix is to use $item instead $$item on line 205

cheers
