Problem Getting the APAN Link to Appear in Nag ios

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Jeff --

I tried the new syntax, and that did work. BTW -- The password I specified was
the default password
that came with apan, I've long since changed it ;-). Now that we know the nagios
user can connect to
the database, where do I go from here?

Well, THAT is weird.  the -p is the password.

well, you have to have the -p, most likely (if not, that's bad in
itself!)

Is your MySQL database running on that same server, then?  If not, add a
'-h <hostname-or-IP>'.

I know it doesn't make a difference, but what the heck - try running it
without spaces after the option flags.  So, '/usr/bin/mysql -unagios
-papa123 -Dnagios'

Well, this is apparently either an sql.conf issue, or an issue with your
MySQL db itself.

other things to try:  open up permissions for the nagios user in MySQL
(let the user connect from all hosts).  Maybe somehow it's being seen
from its primary interface instead of "localhost" (if that's even
possible).
Also - you wouldn't happen to be running MySQL on a non-standard port,
would you?
