When checking its' version, Open iT must check the /var/opt/openit-directory. At one point, this look-up was altered to use the directory defined in ROOT_TEMP_DIR, which is not correct and will cause errors if it is set to a non-standard value other than "/var/opt/openit". This patch ensures that the hard-coded path is used, not the configuration-dependant one. You can easily tell if you need this patch; if you see a FATAL error upon starting the daemon, stating that "Couldn't determine product version", you will need this patch. This may happen to 4.8-installations and certain patched 4.7-installations.
Unpack tar file in e.g /tmp/patch on the Open iT server/client. Do the following as root: cd /tmp/patch ./patch.pl Then start the daemons, e.g. by running "/opt/openit/bin/openit-all start"
