This is actually the second time that this has happened. I was unable to determine what changes to the configuration files had occurred that created this situation last time. I ended up re-installing both cacti and mysql from scratch, then rebuilding most of the connections. As it is, there were two sets of data that I was unable to recreate connections for. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.update cacti and/or mysql. I'm not sure which causes the failure. 2. 3. Actual Results: Warning: mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Access denied for user 'cactiuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /usr/share/php5/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 382 Warning: mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Access denied for user 'cactiuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /usr/share/php5/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 382 Warning: mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Access denied for user 'cactiuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /usr/share/php5/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 382 Warning: mysql_pconnect() [function.mysql-pconnect]: Access denied for user 'cactiuser'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /usr/share/php5/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 382 (repeated over and over) Expected Results: Either a cacti login screen or normal Web displays. There should _never_ be an update that breaks authentication between systems. The ebuild for either cacti (the most likely suspect in my mind and therefore why I filed the bug under it) or mysql is breaking working installations for no apparent reason. Installed mysql version: dev-db/mysql Latest version available: 5.0.70-r1 Latest version installed: 5.0.70-r1
Thank you for report. This is known problem with webapp-config. Too bad nobody fixed that yet. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 243260 ***
Re-opening the ticket as there is still an unresolved issue. How do I recover from the authentication failure? Last time, I tried to run through just the instructions in the Wiki that seemed to cover authentication. After all, I wanted to avoid a complete reinstallation. Unfortunately, I failed and had to back out the installation completely and re-install. I would love to avoid that situation this time around if I can. Does anyone with knowledge of cacti, mysql,and/or webapp-config have any idea as to how I should proceed?

What information do you need from me? Take a look at include/config.php file. You need to provide database name, database user and password. I don't know how you configured that but if you did everything manually probably you still have some information in .mysql_history file (look for GRANT there). If you need more assistance feel free to ask here, but please don't reopen this bug if possible. Thanks. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 243260 ***
