Turn on cookies in your browser, or allow them from the host.

What version of cacti?

And also, what web browser are you using?

[komaii]

cookies are on (this is a production server).

i use the newest cacti version, 0.8.6c.

does someone know which perl module is used to change the password or for the login?

the thing is normaly the first time you have to login with "admin/admin" and then comes the next page where you have to change the the password for the admin login. but this page is not loading, so there must be a module how is broken or so.

Haven't had problem with it in the past.

Force password changing is handled by auth_changepassword.php in the root directory.

If you want to reset the admin password, you can type the following query in mysql client.

Code: Select all

update user_auth set password = md5('admin') where username = 'admin';

This will not force a password change, but will reset the admin to admin. You should change the password from the user management screen.

i did it with no effect.

her what i do after unpacking an installing the cacti.sql database:

[NOT FOUND] RRDTool Binary Path:
/usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.49/bin/rrdtool

NOT FOUND] PHP Binary Path:
/usr/local/php/bin/php

[NOT FOUND] snmpwalk Binary Path:
/usr/bin/snmpwalk

[FOUND] Cacti Log File Path:
/htdocs/cacti-0.8.6c/log/cacti.log

i changed every path to where the binarie are.

afte this comes the page up with finished an with the first login like "admin/admin/"

and thats it, if i give in the login admin/admin nothing happend.

any idea?

Hi,

I have just finished to install and configure cacti on a mandrake 10.1 and I have the same troubles : When I try to log in with admin/admin, it comes back to the login page. But if I put a wrong login/password, it tells me it is false.

Is someone have an Idea ?

tks for your help

[rony]

The fact that it's coming back to the login page is related to sessions not working.

This is either related to php or to the web browser not accepting cookies.

But, if sessions where not working in PHP, the you would get some functions errors.

Can you post your /etc/php.ini file, or is you do not want to post it, please email it to me.

[jpb1978]

tks for your quick answer.
In fact I tryed with internet explorer and firefox and I have the same result.
My php.ini configuration file is the original one. I didn't changed anything.

tks for your help

[rony]

Original that came with the system..

Well, I still want to see it. It's not cacti related, because, it works else where with that version, so it's got to be something related to your system.

[jpb1978]

I add the php.ini file in the previous message.

If your ok, can you give me your php.ini configuration file ? Just in order to replace it and to see if it's working well ?

hi,

session is working on my server.
i use this settings in php.ini

[Session]
session.save_handler = files
session.save_path = /sessions
session.use_cookies = 1
session.name = PHPSESSID
session.auto_start = 0
session.cookie_lifetime = 0
session.cookie_path = /
session.cookie_domain =
session.serialize_handler = php
session.gc_probability = 1
session.gc_dividend = 100
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1800
session.referer_check =
session.entropy_length = 0
session.entropy_file =
;session.entropy_length = 16
;session.entropy_file = /dev/urandom
session.cache_limiter = nocache
session.cache_expire = 180
session.use_trans_sid = 0
url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset="

[rony]

Silly question, what are the permission on your /tmp directory?

Code: Select all

ls -lad /tmp

[rony]

I don't see any glaring problem with you php.ini file. As a matter of fact, the session section mirrors 2 working installations I have.

Let me think on this. If anyone has anyother suggestions, suggest away.

If not, guess I will be installing Suse 9.1 with a simular configuration to see if I can reproduce it.

FYI, my Development box is Suse9.2.

[jpb1978]

My /tmp permissions :

drwxrwxrwt 6 root root 4096 jan 21 17:47 /tmp/
and I have this kind of files in /tmp :

-rw------- 1 apache apache 289 jan 21 17:33 sess_ed926778c02f31a1bf112efd28e887e6

hope this can help.
