Hi Tom,
Thank you for the response
I actually did the following command and it still wont work. Is 'observium db password' the root password for mysql ? Do I need to create a user called observium on mysql?
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON observium.* TO 'observium'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<observium db password>';
Thanks again
Raman

Hi Folks, I am new to observium and I did the install as per the website.
http://www.observium.org/wiki/Debian_Ubuntu_Installation
when I put observium username in the config.php file and the corresponding password
$config['db_host'] = 'localhost'; $config['db_user'] = 'observium'; $config['db_pass'] = 'password11'; $config['db_name'] = 'observium';
and run php includes/update/update.php command.. it fails with the following message
root@Status:/opt/observium# php includes/update/update.php MySQL Error: Access denied for user 'observium'@'localhost' (using password: YES) root@Status:/opt/observium#
if I change it to root, it works
root@Status:/opt/observium# php includes/update/update.php root@Status:/opt/observium# root@Status:/opt/observium#
I can do discovery and polling via the cli though but I see nothing on the web portal
However, when I log into the web portal, and try to add a device it tells me
Permission error
You have insufficient permissions to view this page.
When I go to my settings: it tells me Device permission level no access!
What am I missing here :)
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated
