some global settings being cleared during group settings update

[gwhitfield]

@Wayne-Workman Wow, that’s very nice of you! I would be happy to let you look but I don’t know that it’s necessary for you to go through all that just yet considering I never really update the screen resolution settings. If you feel that it would be beneficial to YOU then I’m all for it but otherwise it’s not necessary for you to do that. I’ll explain -

I’m honestly not sure how I even stumbled on this though I WAS trying to figure out how the settings got cleared and I was clicking and checking everything until I found it. Seeing that I usually don’t touch that setting it was probably an accident that it happened at all. Sure, it’s reproduceable but I guess as long as I keep not touching that setting I shouldn’t have any further problems. The odd thing is that it seems to be a “feature” on each system of mine that I’ve checked, 3 or 4 out of 15. I’m going to check the rest, it may be a few days before I know the results.

Thank you again for your quick responses!!!

@Wayne-Workman One other thought comes to mind. You mentioned possibly something in the DB. I did notice that on a couple recent SVN updates I was not prompted to update/upgrade the DB. Is this normal or should there ALWAYS be a DB update prompt when executing the install of new svn?

[Tom Elliott]

What if you run:

DELETE FROM hostMAC WHERE hmHostID NOT IN (SELECT hostID FROM hosts)

You may also need to delete invalid host entries (without a hostname, or now a hostname without a proper MAC address). To do so, run:

DELETE FROM hosts WHERE hostID NOT IN (SELECT hmHostID FROM hostMAC)

@Tom-Elliott - Since I know zilch about MySQL I can’t talk what-ifs but I take it on faith so I’ll give that a try tomorrow.I’ll send the response as soon as I get a chance to do this step.

@gwhitfield said in some global settings being cleared during group settings update:

It’s normal.

And Tom might be on to something, that’s the command we came up with way back where there was an issue with hosts disappearing…

[Tom Elliott]

I’ve found the issue as described and it is now fixed in the latest.

@Tom-Elliott @Wayne-Workman - No way!! That was like watching a sweet give-an-go with a slam dunk finish. SCORE!! Can’t wait to try it out, thanks guys!!!

@Tom-Elliott - Tried it out this morning and the general settings stay when host screen resolution is updated in group settings. However, something else is now happening, the AD settings for all group members are being wiped out screenshot below):

Here are Apache error logs:

Edit: For clarity sake, the AD settings are wiped out only when the host screen resolution settings are updated, not when the general settings are updated.

[gwhitfield]

Any ideas on what can be done to correct this new wrinkle?

[Tom Elliott]

@gwhitfield Almost have a fix.

[Tom Elliott]

@Tom-Elliott Fix pushed.

@Tom-Elliott - THANK YOU!!
