Starting snmpd:                                            [  OK  ]

I configured PHP, than apache, but when i tried to configure mysql, it says:

Code: Select all

[root@fedora ~]# mysqladmin --user=root password somepassword
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'

Than, i've tried to configure snmp but i dont know where exactly "rocommunity public" should be put? I zipped my snmp.conf file so please, if anyone can help me. I am really new at this and now i am stacked with this.

Thanks in advance.

P.S.

I used this tutorial:
http://docs.cacti.net/manual:087:1_inst ... stall_unix

The mysql issue is independent of any snmp configuration. You will have to fix that password issue before trying to run cacti.
A quite minimalistic SNMP V2 snmpdconf would consist of a one-liner only

Code: Select all

rocommunity mysecret

where "mysecret" is the community string
R.

Ty for reply. So only one line in snmpd.conf with "rocommunity". All the rest i can delete from file?

And about the mysql issue, can you tell me what can i do? That tutorial is written perfect, and everything was smoothly till snmp and mysql.

I'm wondering why the mysql error messages says "password NO" where you have given a password. You may want to use "mysql --user=... -p" and get prompted to enter the password
R.
