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)

HI Mailing List
i followed http://www.observium.org/wiki/RHEL_SVN_Installation this tutorial.
when i run ./adduser.php <username> <password> 1
i am getting mysql error like below
<h2> observer MySQL Error</h2> Access denied for user 'USERNAME'@'localhosr ' (using password: YES)
for me the below mysql table creation and access giving was successful. I used below command
