Marcos,
What i learned (the hard way) is that it seems you need to null out the
mysql root users' password during the installation. After the install
is complete, you can re-add the root mysql user back to whatever it
was. If you dont, it will create some tables, but not all tables. You
may be getting a similar problem for your implementation.
Below is the procedure i use to install/upgrade my Zenoss installs:
Hope this helps,
-Daniel
User Setup
groupadd zenoss
useradd -c "Zenoss User" -d /home/zenoss -g zenoss zenoss
Add the following to the ~/zenoss/.bash_profile:
# Zenoss environment variables
ZENHOME=/usr/local/zenoss
export ZENHOME
PYTHONPATH=$ZENHOME/lib/python
export PYTHONPATH
PATH=$ZENHOME/bin:$PATH
export PATH

Hi there people !
I´m a newbie about zenoss, but I´m trying to install it in a FC-6 box.
I´m have problem when finishing the installation: "Unable to create
the initial Zenoss object database". After some searching at zenoss´s
list, I found the subject "Trunk migrated to Zope 2.10.1" with people
having the same problem. But after following it and some svn upgrade I
could not resolve my problem. I´m sending my zenbuild, so if someone
could clear-me with what is happening...
Thanks in advance !
