Hello Rob,
Are you able to manually log in the DB as pf and root?
Is this happening every time before reaching step4 on the configurator?
Please make sure the pf password are right in conf/pf.conf and
conf/pfconfig.conf
If you need to retest it and your PacketFence *IS NOT* in production,
you could log as root in the database and run the following:
drop database pf;
drop database pf_graphite;
After that rerun the configurator and it will ask you to setup a
password for the user pf. To make sure everything is working fine try a
simple password which is not affected by keyboard map, for instance a
series of number. I'll let you know how to change it after if needed.
Thanks

Thanks Holger,
MySQL is definitely up and listening on 3306. I can login fine from
the console.
There are no special chars in the password which may cause issues (i
did have this issue initially with the default root password due the @
and " being switched on my UK keyboard ;-) ).
The fact that this is happening on both a ZEN deploy and an install
from deb indicates to me that there's either a bug in the latest
version of something about my environment that PF doesn't like.

Hi,
are you sure, the database is up at all? And you are using the
same character sets, when typing blind into the web-interface as
when setting it up in the console?
This sort of error is seldom for Americans, but for people from
the rest of the world one has to take care of this…
Bye,
Holger

*Betreff:* [PacketFence-users] MySQL login fails
Hi,
I'm trying to run the initial config on a new packetfence install
and I get as far as step 4 'Packetfence' but clicking the continue
button does not progress to the next step. In
/usr/local/pf/logs/packetfence.log I see
FATAL: unable to connect to database: Access denied for user
'pf'@'localhost' (using password: YES) at
/usr/local/pf/lib/pf/version.pm <http://version.pm> line 42.
This doesn't make sense as I'm sure the password I supplied is
correct. I've even tried restarting mysql with --skip-grant-tables
to be sure that auth isn't causing an issue.
This has happened on and a Debian Jessie install using the deb
package and on a ZEN deployment. Has anyone else seen this
behaviour? Am I doing something stupid in the setup?
Bob
