Zabbix 1.8.1 Gui does not connect since adding DB Password

[mrmurdock]

I added a password to my mysql zabbix database
mysqladmin -u root password '<password>'

Now when I try to login as Admin. I get the following error.
"mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Access denied
for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)[/home/zabbix/public_html/include/db.inc.php:58]"

I have tried to copy over the 1.8 db.inc.php file but no change.
the /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf file does have the password in it, and the server and agent are running.
I can connect from the command line.
mysql -u root -p zabbix
password:<password>
mysql>

Thank goodness the Export/import feature doesnt work. I will have to reload os and everything from DVD media.

??

reload everything?

Edit the zabbix php config file and put the DB password in there. The file is zabbix.conf.php and is found in the conf directory in your Zabbix gui. The line that says "$DB["PASSWORD"]" is the one you want to edit...
