Description

1/ All settings lost on reinstall/upgrade. After reinstall, I'm left with this in config.xml

<ntopng>
        <config>
                <__csrf_magic>sid:3c785b8e18dc3e5eed8beb64663550d794fd6ad6,1437813179</__csrf_magic>
                <id>ntopng</id>
                <mode>reinstallpkg</mode>
                <pkgconfirm>Confirm</pkgconfirm>
                <password>admin</password>
        </config>
</ntopng>

2/ Every second reinstall/upgrade fails (stops) at this point:

Custom commands...
Executing custom_php_global_functions()...

(which is mostly likely related to #3).

3/ All the functions stuff needs to go to separate inc file and only be called in places where it makes sense. When you (re)install the thing, basically exact same code is run no less than 3 times:

Custom commands...
Executing custom_php_global_functions()...done.
Executing custom_php_install_command()...done.
Executing custom_php_resync_config_command()...done.

Both custom_php_install_command() and custom_php_resync_config_command() call sync_package_ntopng() so it's run 3 times, which is totally pointless.

(Will try to produce a pull req if the time permits.)

Just a note here: 1/ only happens as a result of 2/ (and of subsequent restarting of the reinstall).

OK, merged. Did uninstall, followed by a couple of reinstalls, the reinstalls work fine, all settings preserved, password set correctly in the DB. The only nuisance left is that the ntopng service doesn't start after reinstall even if ntopng already enabled in package config. Guess it just needs $ntopng_config var made global in ntopng_sync_package().

Well, whatever has ben fixable is fixed, the rest is PBI-related breakage. Can be closed.
