Done installing Cacti, Can't connect to MySQL database

Hi everyone,

I have Cacti fully installed but when I go to the web site to try to set up Cacti, I get this error:

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

I made sure MySQL is running and I also checked that databases and it's in there with the correct name. Also config.php settings are correct. Any ideas of what might be causing this? THANKS!!!

Can you "su" to "cactiuser" and access the db via mysql?

Have you tried connecting to the database with the username and password that are stored in config.php?

Is the database on the same box as Cacti?
