So - what version of MySQL? And is the information correct in the config.php page of cacti?

If you provide more information it would be easier to troubleshoot. Can you connect to the web interface? Can you connect to the database as the cacti user? Did you already import the cacti.sql? Was this an existing install? All of this would help troubleshoot. =)

MySQL's version is 4.1.12

I can connect to the web interface http://localhost/cacti/
I can connect to database as the cacti user
I have import the cacti.sql when install cacti

this problem have been solved.
I changed config.php with root user
database_type = "mysql";
$database_default = "cacti";
$database_hostname = "localhost";
$database_username = "root";
$database_password = "************";

Please change :
$database_hostname = "localhost"; to

$database_hostname = "hostname+domain( if You have of course)"

Bye
