seems that it is removing the 'localhost' part of the command:

mysqladmin localhost -u

?

I have the very same problem with cacti 0.6.8a. MySQL is running. Any ideas?

[cactiuser@netsaint cacti]$ php /usr/local/apache/htdocs/cacti/cmd.php
ping: bad number of packets to transmit.
mysqladmin: connect to server at '-u' failed
error: 'Unknown MySQL Server Host '-u' (1)'
Check that mysqld is running on -u and that the port is 3306.
You can check this by doing 'telnet -u 3306'

Hmz. If I edit scripts/sql.php and add the hostname there, it more or less solves the issue. But I still get this:

[cactiuser@netsaint cacti]$ php /usr/local/apache/htdocs/cacti/cmd.php

Try to change include ("../include/config.php"); in file sql.php to full path

Cacti

mysqladmin: connect to server at '-u' failed

mysqladmin: connect to server at '-u' failed
