Happiness, it works now on both Ubuntu 10.04 and 12.04 J. I will be sticking with version 12.04 from now on just to remain compatible with later developments in the code. Thanks Adam.

Ok, SVN up and try again.

It would have worked via discovery.php -h new, but if you call the sql-schema file directly it wouldn't.

This is indeed very weird, I have again tried to install Observium on the new Ubuntu 12.04 server thinking that perhaps there were issues with Ubuntu 10.04 but I am getting exactly the same errors L. I am really baffled as I followed the installation instructions to the letter.

Ubuntu 12.04 is running as virtual machine on VMWare Workstation v8 as was version 10.04. Could that have anything to do with it?

It seems to be not getting any configuration from configuration.php, hence it trying to connect as root without a password.

You've done something weird, but I can't tell what.

Btw, 10.04 is old. Soon we will require rrdtool 1.4, which is not in 10.04.

Hi,

 

I am baffled about exactly the same thing; why is it using something not configured. I do not know about config.php.inc, below are the credentials configured on the config.php file including what I have configured on the database itself.

 

### Database config

$config['db_host'] = "localhost";

$config['db_user'] = "observium";

$config['db_pass'] = "xxxxxx";

$config['db_name'] = "observium";

 

 

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON observium.* TO 'observium'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'xxxxxx';

 

I can also connect to the database using the configured credentials;

 

brucem@ubuntu:/opt/observium$ mysql -u observium -pxxxxxx

are you sure you configured the DB params in config.php.inc  ? it seems you are trying to access using root and empty password.
