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,
