I've set up netdb, got vlan changing working but I was wondering how do I set up changing of port descriptions? I added desc_change to the list of allowed features. The pencil appears on the web interface but when I try and change I get a script error. I assume I need to point to some script but am unsure what to do.
Thanks

Looks like I had a glitch in the error reporting. If you're on v1.12 and do an SVN update it should clear up that error but otherwise sounds like everything is working correctly.

Sounds good, I just pushed out 1.12 this week so let me know if you run in to any issues with the instructions or anything. There's a few other people on it already though and the changes weren't too major, though be aware you'll need to install a new Ubuntu package and run the database upgrade script.

Upgrading is not really in the best interest for me as I've modded it quite a bit. Are you able to tell me when code you changed to fix the description report error and I can just update that code please?

Hey,
In your /etc/netdb-cgi.conf make sure this is uncommented:
desc_script = /opt/netdb/vlanchange.pl -ds
Then if you're still having problems, try running the script from the command line like this and post back the results:
/opt/netdb/vlanchange.pl -ds switch,port,"description" -v

That wasn't in the config file, so I added. When I change the description via the webinterface it works but this is the message it gives back:
Description Change Failed
Successfully changed lal-sw-d-79 Gi1/0/1 description to TESTING.
Why is it saying it failed when it hasn't?

Ah great. I'm currently running NetDB v1.11 ill see if I can upgrade.

Sure,
In netdb.cgi.pl under the changeDesc sub, change:
if ( $line =~ /Camtrace success/ ) {to
if ( $line =~ /Successfully/ ) {
That should do it.
Also if you have any good mods you think should be rolled back in to the mainline code send them over.

I am on 1.12.3 and still get failed description change even though it is successful...
Thanks I thought it was fixed but I'll have to try and reproduce it on my end with the script.
