I highly recommend you using the RPM if at all possible. It makes
things a LOT easier during upgrades...
Regarding your install question... If you're using the trunk then
Zenoss will attempt to login to the MySQL server running on localhost
using the administrative username of "root" with a blank password
(which is the default installation on many distros). If it fails it
will prompt you for the MySQL hostname, administrative username and
password, as well as prompt you for what username you would like to
use for zenoss in the MySQL database (along with a password).
The fact that you're not getting prompted for that information
suggests that 'mysql -h localhost -u root -p""' works.
If your'e on the 1.1.1 branch then the story is different... (you
don't have the option to choose the database hostname or
administrative username and password).

I've since given up on the rpm route and thought I would install
from source, as I usually do with things like this, such as Cacti.
I followed the instructions and run the install.sh, where it gives
up on:
"MySQL root passwd: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user
'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user
'zenoss'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
mysql install, user or password is incorrect"
It appears that the install script is trying to log into MySql?
Doesn't it need user intervention to enter a pw? I haven't seen a
script that tries to log into MySql this way during install.
Usually software like this wants the user to log into MySql, create
the account and privs, the pw, etc, then also as root, either cat
a .sql file into the DB or something like "mysql -u root -p dbname
< db.sql".
This box has Cacti running with MySql right now with no problems.
Did I miss something in the install notes?
All I see in reference to MySql is:
"Make sure you assign a password to root
Make sure mysql_config is in the path"
