I've just installed ONA and am working through populating it and convincing people here it can replace the broken spreadsheets they are so in love with.

I had a minor annoyance with the version check failing because of lack of proxy server support. The patch below fixes this (requires PHP5), although doesn't include the logic to test whether a proxy server should be used - it could be in the global config as a parameter.

$ diff main.inc.php main.inc.php-orig
15,16d14
< $opts = array('http' => array('proxy' => 'tcp://wwwproxy:8080', 'request_fulluri' => true));
< $context = stream_context_create($opts);
22,23c20,21
< //$fsock = @fsockopen("tcp://{$onachkserver}", 80, $errNo, $errString, 2);
< //if ($fsock) {
---
> $fsock = @fsockopen("tcp://{$onachkserver}", 80, $errNo, $errString, 2);
> if ($fsock) {
25c23
< $file = @fopen("http://{$onachkserver}/check_version.php", "r",false,$context);
---
> $file = @fopen("http://{$onachkserver}/check_version.php", "r");
27c25
< //}
---
> }


Hope you can convince them to use a real tool to manage the network there!

I'll have a look at the patch. certainly improves on the ability of the test and will serve handy for the new plugins to be able to check for their own updates.

Thanks for the patch!

Thanks Matt.

Making good progress on acceptance of ONA. An excellent set of capabilities for IPAM.

I updated my patch to use sys_config variable 'http_proxy' and posted code in a feature request in bug tracking system.
