Any other suggestions? After installing (3 times) the PA to a modified cacti install I finally reverted to a clean install, then reinstalled current PA and NPC plugin. Again, login doesn't work and neither resetting login to admin/admin or using the above query cleared login access.

CACTI MODIFICATIONS:
Changed color scheme
Changed page title to Monitoring

Would either of these modifications cause the problems. No errors are showing in server or user logs so unable to troubleshoot.

I would bet that there are errors in your apache log. Take a look here to see what is going on.

If you revert to the default files that you have changed, are you able to log in ?

Nope, there were no errors in apache logs, user access logs or message logs -- only shows successful access of the login page.

Each time I reinstalled I'm kicked out after adding a plugin and according to database log the password was accepted but I can never get past the login page. I tired to access auth_changepassword.php since the login didn't appear to work but then checked the database which showed that user was authenticated -- just couldn't get past the login page.

I had cacti setup and graphing, upgraded to 8.7d (no problems) and added PIA2 with global.php errors but eventually everything passed although I had a problem with login but the mentioned workarounds worked. After logging in I saw the "Plugin Management" link so I installed npc with appropriate change to global.php and this is where login failed again but this time without success using either of the Reset/Fix password instructions.

Before trying again I upgraded my CentOS box which was initially configured for apache 1.3, PHP 4 (default) and PHP 5 - upgraded and now using apache 2.2 with php 4 with PHP 5 (default). Possibly the required PHP extensions weren't being called correctly which may have caused the login issue. So, I'll start over and see if this makes a difference.

I consider myself a newbie so I'll try my hit/miss methods and see what happens and will definitely post if I continue to run into problems.

I believe I'm experiencing a similar issue. Can't authenticate to the cacti login page after install. Nothing helpful in apache or cacti logs.
