Indeed. You need to be very careful typing commands from documentation, it's so easy to make mistakes!

In this case you seem to have duplicated the second part of the statement, likely because you missed the semicolon and typed it again with the semicolon, leading to a duplicate!

Just do that part again, and it'll be fine!

Hi Reuben,

You assume correctly.
However, the statement you entered in your mysql client is not the one from our documentation (so the syntax error is logical) - please try again.

Hi,

Im setting up Observium on ubuntu server 14.04.1 LTS.

Using the guide:

http://www.observium.org/docs/debian_ubuntu/

All going well until I get to the SQL database bit and have issues:

mysql -u root -p

<mysql root password>

mysql> CREATE DATABASE observium DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON observium.* TO 'observium'@'localhost'

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

I assume the <observium db password> is to be replaced with a password?

Thanks and regards,

Reuben
