Matomo 3.12.0 update issue: Undefined index: enable_sites_admin

whois · November 1, 2019, 2:57pm

After updating my Matomo installation using the automatic online process, I first ran into the issue reported in (No entry or class found for 'path.misc.user'), and fixed it by adding line 13 as suggested there. The update proceeded to conclusion. However, now there is an error at the top of my dashboard stating:

“WARNING: /PATHTOINSTALLATION/www/plugins/SitesManager/SitesManager.php(53): Notice - Undefined index: enable_sites_admin - Matomo 3.12.0 - Please report this message in the Matomo forums: https://forum.matomo.org (please do a search first as it might have been reported already) (Module: MultiSites, Action: index, In CLI mode: false)”

where I have replaced the path to my installation with “PATHTOINSTALLATION”. Please help troubleshoot this. If it helps, when the database upgrade prompt came, there was a line on the files having an integrity problem which I missed before I clicked on the continue buttion.

Hi,

Also make sure your global.ini.php contains this line:

github.com

matomo-org/matomo/blob/abad55e01b3007d45099bc5228d1e3ef60c594af/config/global.ini.php#L684




; By setting this option to 0:
; - links to Enable/Disable/Uninstall plugins will be hidden and disabled
; - links to Uninstall themes will be disabled (but user can still enable/disable themes)
enable_plugins_admin = 1


; By setting this option to 0 the users management will be disabled
enable_users_admin = 1


; By setting this option to 0 the websites management will be disabled
enable_sites_admin = 1


; By setting this option to 1, it will be possible for Super Users to upload Matomo plugin ZIP archives directly in Matomo Administration.
; Enabling this opens a remote code execution vulnerability where
; an attacker who gained Super User access could execute custom PHP code in a Matomo plugin.
enable_plugin_upload = 0


; By setting this option to 0 (e.g. in common.config.ini.php) the installer will be disabled.
enable_installer = 1


; By setting this option to 0, you can prevent Super User from editing the Geolocation settings.

Maybe try to replace the whole file with the one from the latest release as it seems like your update got aborted before all files could be replaced.

Thanks Lukas. The problem went away after adding this line.

Unfortunately, my installation stopped working in a few hours, so that fix did not work. I was in a rush, so deleted the entire installation, including all my data, and installed a fresh one.
