ISSUE :
Your MySQL TimeZone database is not populated.
Please populate this database before proceeding.
SOLUTION :
Now you need to grant access to the MySQL TimeZone database for user Cacti,
so that the database is populated with global TimeZone information, to do this run
the following commands.
# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
mysql> use mysql;
mysql> GRANT SELECT ON mysql.time_zone_name TO cactiuser@localhost;
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> exit
# systemctl restart mariadb.service
# systemctl restart httpd.service
