Cacti login constantly fails and now cannot reinstall it

P

This is most frustrating!
Every time we had run an upgrade for cacti, always successful, subsequently it would fail to allow logins.
Usually, the only work around is to either make deinstall / make reinstall or pkg remove / pkg install cacti.

Today is one of those days were cacti doesn't allow us to login. # cd /usr/ports/net-mgmnt/cact; make deinstall followed by make reinstall.....

Code: 
# make reinstall

===>  cacti-1.2.14 pkg(8) must be version 1.15.9 or greater, but you have
1.14.5. You must upgrade the ports-mgmt/pkg port first.
*** Error code 1
Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/ports/net-mgmt/cacti
Ok so lets upgrade the ports:
Code: 
# portsnap fetch update
Looking up ec2-eu-west-1.portsnap.freebsd.org mirrors... none found.
Fetching snapshot tag from ec2-eu-west-1.portsnap.freebsd.org... done.
Ports tree hasn't changed since last snapshot.
No updates needed.
Ports tree is already up to date.

Oh my, its up to date!


ok lets try pkg

Code: 
# pkg install cacti
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.
The following 2 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):

New packages to be INSTALLED:
    cacti: 1.2.13
    cliqz: 1.36.0_1

Number of packages to be installed: 2

The process will require 255 MiB more space.
19 MiB to be downloaded.

Proceed with this action? [y/N]: y
pkg: http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/quarterly/All/cacti-1.2.13.txz: Not Found
 
Ports tree has nothing to do with it, if you only use packages you can even remove the whole ports tree.

Your cached repository catalog is out of date. Force an update: pkg update -f.
 
Hi SirDice,
Thank you, pkg update -f worked. Reinstalled cacti-1.2.14 and it does same, login, page just 'flashes'. #mv cacti cacti-10-19-20
#pkg remove cacti, #pkg install cacti

This is what has to be everytime. And after a period (unknown) of time, won't be able to login again and repeat the above process.

rsync -az /usr/local/share/cacti-10-19-20/include/config.php /usr/local/share/cacti/include/

Cannot login.

No warning about incorrect passwd, just page flashes when clicking login button.
does same if using /install/install.php url
 
I'm a Zabbix convert. I moved all my management and graphing to that. Zabbix does a lot more than what Cacti did though. But it's so much easier to work with once you have some good templates.
