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

 

I'm having a hard time connecting solution 1 to solution 2 to the actual cause.

- Using a different password for your Observium user makes no difference for the MySQL connection.
- Special characters in your MySQL password should be no problem.

The real reason:

// Database config
$config['db_host'] = "localhost";
$config['db_user'] = "USERNAME";
$config['db_pass'] = "PASSWORD";
$config['db_name'] = "observium";

You did not configure the database credentials correctly. (and will not have a database import through the sql schema updater, as it could not have connected to MySQL as well)
