New Package Install - Error connecting to database

[niirii]

Hello,

I am a newbie to Zabbix. I searched the forum for the error below but did not find the help I needed.

I am running CentOS 6, Apache 2.2, PHP 5.6, and MySQL Community 5.6.

I followed the instructions for "Installation from packages" using Zabbix 2.4 (installed version is 2.4.5).

I edited the "zabbix_server.conf" for the database information (MySQL) and I started the "zabbix-server" service but when I attempt to go to the web page I get the error :

Configuration file error
Error connecting to database: Access denied for user 'zabbix'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

I can logon to the MySQL server using the same account and password that I have specified in the "zabbix_server.conf" file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Account information for the Web frontend is separate from setting in zabbix_server.conf.
If you use package from Zabbix SIA,
Configuration file for the Web frontend is /etc/zabbix/web/zabbix.conf.php.

What are you able to start successfully zabbix_server daemon?
Please check your settings If you are not able to start if.

ex. zabbix_server.conf

DBUser=zabbix
DBPassword=yourpassword

If you cannot access to Web frontend,
Do you set account information at the wizard for initial setting when you access to Web frontend first time?

Atsushi that worked. I did have to update the web configuration file as you pointed out. I don't know why they leave that out of the documentation for package installs. Obviously that is a *required* step to get it to work!
