Only have the login interface and then... NOTHING :-(

[Bioman]

Hi,

I set up cacti 0.8.5a fine and it used to work for a few days (upgraded from 0.8.4).

Today, I found out a very weird problem :
When I try to login, I have the login interface.
If I deliberately put a wrong Login/Pwd I have an error message.

If I put the correct Login/Pwd then I just have a white sheet...

I checked and re-checked the conf and there's nothing that I can see.
Seems like there is a problem with the auth.php file (???).

Can anybody help me please ?

Thanx !

Hep Bioman, i have exactly the same problem! Cacti runned fine for months. And today it seems to have a problem, i ve upgraded it (debian).
I hope it will be fixed.

[Bioman]

Yes, this is an upgrade from Debian.

Can't anyone help ?... This is very annoying !

According to the package buglist available here :
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=cacti

This is a php4 CLI packaging mistake :
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=267009

You can correct this issue by editing "/etc/php4/cli/php.ini" and uncomment "extension=mysql.so" on line 536.

That's all

Sorry, but this is not the answer
I had a look at this file which are (there are 2 of them) in etc/php4/apache and etc/php4/cgi.
The directory ./cli does not exist.
Anyway, in the two files, the line is uncommented.

Moreover, the php4 version is 4.3.3-4...

Any other idea ?...

Thanx a lot for the answer !

I keep trying to understand what can be wrong here.
If it can help, I realised this :
I login, and have a white sheet... Nothing but white.
BUT, if I remove ./index.php and put graph_view.php, then I have the objects tree. But there is no way I can see a graph (no picture generated ?).

Could help soone to understand... maybe...

I've read http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=267009
I've reconfigured my ./cli/php.ini. Same problem anyway :/ It seems to be a "DEBIAN" problem and not a cacti one. I hope they'll find out a solution ! :p

[jice]

; ... or under UNIX:
;
; extension=msql.so
There's an error anywa it seems :/

[Bioman]

OK, last thing to do :
remove with
dpkg --purge
remove some files manually
apt-get install
and use the BackUp DB for the newly installed cacti.

Everything's back, but I'll never know why the thing was down...

Lame !
