>Description:
when updating net/cacti, /usr/pkg/share/cacti/include/config.php is overwritten. This configuration file contains the credentials to connect to MySQL server, and the url path to cacti.




>How-To-Repeat:
Install and configure any older version of cacti in pkgsrc. Don't use default credentials provided by /usr/pkg/share/cacti/include/config.php . Then, upgrade to a newer version of cacti in pkgsrc (with pkgin, pkg_add or make). Try to browse cacti on your server : it will complain it cannot connect to the MySQL server.

 The config file should be in /usr/pkg/etc and handled using the config
 file framework; that will make this problem go away.

 
 Getting that to happen will probably take some patching.
