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#

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 J

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated
