OK thanks,
I went into the config.php file and it was default so I changed the username and password field and now that's fixed.
Next issue: is this OK?
*Command* reuben@ubuntu-Observium-1:/opt/observium$ apache2ctl restart *Error* AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message httpd not running, trying to start (13)Permission denied: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80 (13)Permission denied: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down AH00015: Unable to open logs Action 'restart' failed. The Apache error log may have more information. reuben@ubuntu-Observium-1:/opt/observium$
Other than that the commands all worked fine
Logging via web page goes here (below - default Apache page), so I assume the error above affects this.
Thanks again,

They should usually all be different.
The username and password for MySQL when running Observium scripts is taken from config.php, the lines near the top of that file. These should match what you configured for the Observium user a couple of steps earlier.

There are 3 passwords I have (local OS login, mySQL root, mySQL observium)
- should they all be the same?
It seems to try to use my local OS user account (via sudo) to access run the update.php (i.e. it doesn't ask me for a username or password for mySQL).
What should I change / how should I change it?
Thanks again,

Hi Reuben,
It seems that your config.php doesn't have the same mysql user/password as what you configured earlier.

Changed to putty / ssh.
Next issue:
Setup the MySQL database and insert the default schema:
php includes/update/update.php
error message (tried using sudo, tried a machine and service restart):

You should ssh to the system after its installed rather than the vsphere cliebt. Life is way too short to do this stuff by hand ;)

Thanks,
missing the semicolon as you mentioned was the issue and redoing it helped
