ntopng cannot be installed with latest update
-
I was trying to update ntopng to the latest package version and it failed. I also tried uninstall/reinstall ... still fails with output seen below.
Looking at /usr/local/pkg/ntopng.inc, it looks like there is an error in the logic to handle the case where the user doesn't have a maxmind key (I don't have one.)

I posted the same. I have a maxmind key but cannot enter it because the package does not install.

This change inevitably leads to different rendering results, and you might change port's options to adapt it to your taste (or use the new "FREETYPE_PROPERTIES" environment variable). The environment variable "FREETYPE_PROPERTIES" can be used to control the driver properties. Example: FREETYPE_PROPERTIES=truetype:interpreter-version=35 \ cff:no-stem-darkening=1 \ autofitter:warping=1 This allows to select, say, the subpixel hinting mode at runtime for a given application. If LONG_PCF_NAMES port's option was enabled, the PCF family names may include the foundry and information whether they contain wide characters. For example, "Sony Fixed" or "Misc Fixed Wide", instead of "Fixed". This can be disabled at run time with using pcf:no-long-family-names property, if needed. Example: FREETYPE_PROPERTIES=pcf:no-long-family-names=1 How to recreate fontconfig cache with using such environment variable, if needed: # env FREETYPE_PROPERTIES=pcf:no-long-family-names=1 fc-cache -fsv The controllable properties are listed in the section "Controlling FreeType Modules" in the reference's table of contents (/usr/local/share/doc/freetype2/reference/site/index.html, if documentation was installed). ===== Message from cyrus-sasl-2.1.27: -- You can use sasldb2 for authentication, to add users use: saslpasswd2 -c username If you want to enable SMTP AUTH with the system Sendmail, read Sendmail.README NOTE: This port has been compiled with a default pwcheck_method of auxprop.

@viktor_g Just installed 0.18.13_5. Failed to start because of requirement to connect to a redis server to work. System logs suggests couldn't connect to redis server.

Removerd *.rdb from /var/db/ntopng/. Uninstalled ntopng and reinstalled. Now working! Thanks to previous poster on pointing out redis db craps itself and needs a reset.

@digs did the trick. I was not able to log in, uninstalled and insalled lot of times, updated pfsense from 2.4.4_3 to 2.4.5, same scenario not able to login (login loop).
Deleted all on /var/db/ntopng/, unistalled on gui, reinstalled then working. Thank you!
