Hi,

It’s caused of special character in your mysql’s password.

There have 2 solutions that I have solved.

1. Change you mysql password not to use character like &%*)%  

2. If you don’t want to change password try to use single quote in password term like this

./adduser.php user ‘yourpa$$word’ 1

Best Regards.

HI Mailing List

i followed http://www.observium.org/wiki/RHEL_SVN_Installation this tutorial.

   -> IDENTIFIED BY '<observium db password>';
