[TheWitness]

In your config.php

@TheWitness Apologies! As i am newbie on linux. Kindly tell me complete file path so that i can edit via vim editor.

[TheWitness]

In a normal install it's /var/www/html/cacti/include/config.php, for Debian, it might be something like /usr/share/site/cacti/include/config.php or it could even be in /etc/cacti.

@TheWitness ok, i have done with $database_ssl = 'false',

is it in correct format?

$database_default = 'cacti';
$database_hostname = 'localhost';
$database_username = 'cacti_user';
$database_password = 'mypassword';
$database_ssl = 'false';

Still not working.... Still getting below error

CMDPHP PHP ERROR NOTICE Backtrace: (/cactid.php[150]:db_check_reconnect(), /cactid.php[268]:CactiErrorHandler())
ERROR PHP NOTICE: Undefined variable: database_retries in file: /var/www/html/cacti/cactid.php on line: 268

That's a real old format config.php. You need to use the config.php.dist from the upgrade/install and redo yours.

@TheWitness Sorry unable to understand. Should i change config.php.dist?

[cutehameed]

@TheWitness is it possible to install old version of cacti in ubuntu 20?

[cutehameed]

@TheWitness I will appericiate and request you to take me on board via anydesk and help me to get rid of the issue.

[TheWitness]

Read the documentation on how to install Cacti. It's not that complicated.
