delete the cacti folder (once it is backed up if any data is needed).
then remove the mysql password for root
use mysql;
UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('') where USER='root@localhost';
UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('') where USER='root';
flush privileges;
quit
Refresh your apps on the main ReadyNAS page
hit the upload button and upload the cacti.deb file
Watch the error file here :
cd /var/log/readynasd
tail install_debpkg.log
Should be successful now.
I was able to accomplish this by first getting mysql to take and then I accidentally had set the mysql password. This was evident in the error file.
But it looks like I got it now I need to rebuild my humpty dumpty cacti graphs. I have the orginal folder I hope it is as easy as placing and chmoding.
SSH never was an issue. It is always active on the ReadyNAS as far as I recall. As for voiding your ReadyNAS it seems like my only lucjk with their said apps was to SSH on so I have nothing loose once evrything broke for me. You cna do the SSH Console and then make sure that it is activated. You will then have like SSH access with sudo level root.
We really only deny support for using SSH when you deliberably caused a failure and complain to our Support to fix something you broke. There are several locations where we are tracking user activity on the ReadyNAS so during our investigation, if we determine you caused this failure by your misuse of SSH, then we would deny the support and request you either fix it on your own or factory default and reproduce the issue without using SSH to cause the failure and we can take further look if it still persists (and is supported).
