Good Day all,

I have two instances Zenoss 2.2 running on two different Centos boxes. Both 
machines have local versions of MySQL 5.0.45 installed and working just fine. I 
have not yet set a password for the root user on both machines. There is also a 
zenoss user with a passwd of zenoss on both MySQL setups. On my dev platform, 
when I go settings --> backup and tell it do a backup I get;
"Output:
/opt/zenoss/bin/zenbackup -v --save-mysql-access
Getting mysql dbname, user, password from zeo
Backup up events database.
Backing up zeo database.
Backing up config files.
Backing up performance data.
Packaging backup file.
Backup file written to /opt/zenoss/backups/zenbackup_20080707_2.tgz
Cleaning up temporary files.
Backup complete.
DONE "

However, when I do the same thing on my "production" install the backup returns;
"Output:
/opt/zenoss/bin/zenbackup -v --save-mysql-access
mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'zenoss'@'localhost' (using 
password: NO) when trying to connect
Unable to get mysql info from zeo. Looks like zeo is not running.
Backup up events database.
DONE "

I can run the zenbackup command from a bash as any user defining the 
--dbpass=somepass and it works like a champ on either machine. However, I'd 
really be interested in knowing where or how I can define the password for the 
backups without having to drop to a shell every time or via a cron. Is there 
some config file that I'm missing here or something? I did notice the "Unable 
to get mysql info from zeo. Looks like zeo is not running." statement there as 
well.. What is that trying to tell me? I've checked under the Daemons tab and 
everything is the same on both boxes. Only one service does not start and 
that's the zenjmx process. But it does not run on either machine so I wouldn't 
think that would cause this.. Would it? If anyone has any ideas or suggestions 
I'd love to hear them. Thanks so much and everyone have a GREAT day!
