Roll back / downgrade to prior working version of cacti

P

Hi, is there a way to revert back to a previously working install of Cacti? Cacti-1.2.12 will prevent one from logging into the GUI after setup is complete and logging out after several hours. I have reinstalled cacti-1.2.12 more than 10x both using my backup cacti sql DB and just using the cacti/cacti.sql DB. It makes no difference, it does the same thing.

This behavior did not happen in the past. We had cacti for several years without any issues.

in /var/db/pkg the following is present:

# ls cacti-*
cacti-0.8.8g_1:
distfiles

cacti-0.8.8h:
distfiles

cacti-1.0.1:
distfiles

cacti-1.1.28:
distfiles

cacti-1.2.3:
distfiles

cacti-1.2.8:
distfiles

Thanks.
 
Packages are cached in /var/cache/pkg/. Use pkg-add(8) to install any of those cached files.

pkg add /some/where/package.tgz

Those are not cached packages, cached packages are in /var/cache/pkg. In /var/db/pkg only set port OPTIONS are stored there. You probably installed cacti from ports, which is what creates those option files. To rollback a port you will need to use subversion to revert the port back to a certain revision.
