Ehm. You need the correct username and password for your database :p

Edit: Why do you not want a password?

'cacti'@'localhost' instead 'cacti@localhost'

And you are sure the username and password you have provided has access to the cacti database?

FWIW, I have filed the following bug on this :

http://bugs.cacti.net/view.php?id=710

It includes details of a (kludgey) way to work around the problem.

I can tell you right now, that bug is going to be a very low priority.

Reason I say that, because a blank password is a very bad idea from a security standpoint.

I appreciate that having no mysql password is bad security in the abstract, but in certain environments it is desirable. It's my view that a given application which uses MySQL should be as agnostic about passwords as MySQL is. In other words, it should recommend using a password, but allow users to run without one. Just my opinion, and I'm aware that cacti dev team may disagree.

Thanks for the response, though!

This has been fixed in SVN. We will release as soon as the patches pass QA. QA's speed is a measure of free time and momentum.
