Hi,

I am baffled about exactly the same thing; why is it using something not configured. I do not know about config.php.inc, below are the credentials configured on the config.php file including what I have configured on the database itself.

### Database config

$config['db_host'] = "localhost";

$config['db_user'] = "observium";

$config['db_pass'] = "xxxxxx";

$config['db_name'] = "observium";

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON observium.* TO 'observium'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'xxxxxx';

I can also connect to the database using the configured credentials;

brucem@ubuntu:/opt/observium$ mysql -u observium -pxxxxxx

are you sure you configured the DB params in config.php.inc ? it seems you are trying to access using root and empty password.
