Edit the Admin account and setup it's email address.

[eliassal]

It is already done

[TheWitness]

Okay, that's odd. Let me check.

[TheWitness]

Okay, looked at the code, and I'm going to call bug. Updating lib/functions.php shortly. Please test.

[eliassal]

Thanks, so what should I do in my environment?

[TheWitness]

Did you install from source? If so, the easy process, ntong to verify the user accounts for ownership and that the paths may be different....

cd /var/www/html
git clone -b 1.2.x https:/github.com/cacti/cacti.git cacti.new
/bin/cp -rfp cacti.new/* cacti
chown -r apache:apache cacti

Then refresh your browser to upgrade.

[eliassal]

No, I followed the instructions at
https://www.tecmint.com/install-cacti-network-monitoring-on-rhel-centos-fedora/
and used

sudo dnf install cacti

It's likely going to be a bit more tricky adding @reubenfarrelly as he can add some clarity as to when a new build might be available. We plan to freeze later today after all the language stuff is finished.

[TheWitness]

It's working for me now. I'm going to close now. Just wait on 1.2.20 to be released if you don't know how to merge.

Good evening,
I found this article because the same thing is happening to me in my cacti.

So I've added the fix in my functions.php file, but I still get the same error.
