<![CDATA[nxdbmgr not working with mysql]]>Hello

Initializing mysql DB with nxdbmgr is showing this message:

/ # /opt/bin/nxdbmgr  init /opt/share/netxms/sql/dbinit_mysql.sql
NetXMS Database Manager Version 0.2.31

Configuration file OK
Unable to connect to database netxms@localhost as netxms

The following was the configuration in mysql:

/tmp/netxms-0.2.31/contrib # mysql -U mysql -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 2323475
Server version: 5.1.25-rc-standard-log Source distribution

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> CREATE DATABASE netxms;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> GRANT ALL ON netxms.* TO netxms IDENTIFIED BY 'PaSsWd';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> \q
Bye

Configuration in netxmsd.conf:

 DBDriver = /opt/lib/libnxddr_mysql.so
#
# DBServer
#
 DBServer = localhost
#
# DBName
 DBName = netxms
#
# DBLogin
#
 DBLogin = netxms
#
# DBPassword
#
 DBPassword = PaSsWd

May be the initialization script is complaining because password in command line is not allowed in mysql configuration?

You are right, now is working fine:

/ # /opt/bin/nxdbmgr check

If you are connecting to localhost, you should grabt access to database in this way:

GRANT ALL ON netxms.* TO netxms@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'PaSsWd';

Because MySQL threats localhost connections differently. (MySQL page where this behavior is explained: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/adding-users.html).

Best regards,
Victor
