 Description   

On new install of 2.0.5, during installation screen, on database connection testing form, upon filling everything out correctly, and clicking "Test Connection" I receive a blank page. There is no source for the page as well.

Looking at apache log:

[Mon Mar 04 14:47:57.923532 2013] [:error] [pid 20475:tid 140129251268352] [client 127.0.0.1:33287] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function zbx_dbstr() in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/zabbix/include/db.inc.php on line 126, referer: http://localhost/setup.php

for more clarity, could you please specify how php was compiled for oracle support ? (configure flags)

Comment by Mikhail Dobrinin [ 2013 Mar 05 ] 
sudo ./configure --with-gd --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --enable-bcmath --enable-mbstring --enable-sockets --with-gettext --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib64 --with-freetype-dir=/usr/lib64/ --with-oci8

Note that I seem to not get this issue on 2.0.3.

Comment by Ryan Rupp [ 2013 Mar 05 ]

Looks to be related to the changes in ZBX-5691 which added the use of zbx_dbstr() when connecting to an Oracle instance. I think this may be because on the 2.0 branch in db.inc.php the function zbx_dbstr is conditionally defined based on the DBTYPE where as on trunk zbx_dbstr is defined as a top level function with the conditionals nested inside it. That or for whatever reason possibly the DBTYPE wasn't set at the time the conditional function is determined and therefore the function was never defined (it's all if/else if so if DBTYPE weren't set it wouldn't work).

Looks like you can get around this issue by placing zabbix.conf.php file manually. Installation screen will be skipped however.

Cannot reproduce on latest versions of Zabbix.

Closing as "Cannot reproduce".
