Is there any way to reset an installation? I'm also getting stuck at 41%, but how to start from the beginning?

UPDATE 3 NOTE:
I finally found the problem, this issue occurred if you check the latest option, please check the image with the red circle

Unchecking this one solve the installation problem

In order to start the installation again do the following:
1- delete symbolic link and cacti directory
2- delete cacti db from mariadb or mysql
3- extract again cacti latest version and create symbolic link
4- create again cacti db from mariadb or mysql
5- import database structure to cacti db
6- modify config.php to reflect username and passwor for cacti db
7- start again the installation process from Web Browser.

You can restart the installation process a little more simply using MySQL:

delete from settings where name like 'install_%';

I'm curious over the blank line, it sounds like a change has been made to the templates or there's a template that isn't being parsed properly but is being placed into the array somehow.

Sounds like the Cisco package is broken. Likely a file transfer of a tar file in ASCII mode. That would break it.

Actually, the missing package appears to be the Cacti Stats package.

Cacti_Stats.xml.gz
Cisco_Router.xml.gz
Generic_SNMP_Device.xml.gz
Local_Linux_Machine.xml.gz
NetSNMP_Device.xml.gz
Windows_Device.xml.gz

[Jh0nHerrera]

Yes, in fact the installation process stuck when importing Cacti_Stats.xml.gz

If you remove that package and restart, installation should complete (or just untick the box as mentioned). We will look at fixing the installer to handle bad packages.
