Cannot connect to MySQL server on 'localhost'. Please make sure you have specified a valid MySQL database name in 'include/config.php'.

can you help me ?

thanks!

One example of the error is plenty.

I suggest you read the guide in my signature. Specifically the MySQL section, step 6.

[jeonchl]

I conect mysql database in terminal command ok ,but in the web is wrong too!

[BSOD2600]

*sigh* did you follow step 6 like I suggested? Alternatively read: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html

[jengstro]

Why the heck does the "Start Param" I add disapear after I start the service? Should I be adding it somewhere else?

[BSOD2600]

Look in your event log and the error regarding the mysql service. You stopped it before adding in the start parameter, right?

[jeonchl]

i can start it in the web http://localhost/cacti

[jeonchl]

You posted twice about this failed save, read my post in your other thread.

[jengstro]

Yes. I stopped the service and added the following to the start prams...

--old-passwords

and pressed start.
