Description Trevor Hemsley 2014-08-04 12:41:55 UTC

Description of problem:
The cacti config file in /usr/share/cacti/include/config.php is not marked as a config file in the rpm so every update replaces it and breaks systems where the user/password for the database is changed from the default

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.8.8b

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install cacti from EPEL6
2. Amend /usr/share/cacti/include/config.php to reflect your own db username etc
3. Wait for a yum update to come along and cacti stops working

Actual results:
File is replaced on yum update cacti

Expected results:
File should be marked as config so it is not replaced

Hi Trevor, thanks very much for the bug report.

In a traditional upstream tarball you'd typically edit the config.php file, but the Red Hat package works slightly differently. You should be updating /etc/cacti/db.php instead. That file is indeed marked as noreplace in the RPM.

You can find out more information about the Red Hat package by reading the file at /usr/share/doc/cacti-*/docs/README.fedora.

Since the expectation is that you'd edit /etc/cacti/db.php instead, I'm going to consider this issue resolved. Please re-open if you disagree. Thanks again for your contribution and thanks for using the package.
