After upgrading using mysql patches,this is the error message that comes up whiles trying to connect.

Error connecting to database [Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'zabbix']

[johnl]

in your file include/db.inc.php for zabbix have you configured the following

// $DB_TYPE ="POSTGRESQL";
$DB_TYPE ="MYSQL";
$DB_SERVER ="localhost";
$DB_DATABASE ="<whateverdatabase>";
$DB_USER ="<whateverdbuser>";
$DB_PASSWORD ="<whateverpassword>";

this needs to be configured so php can connect to mysql database. also check that your zabbix user can login to zabbix database locally on mysql server using

mysql -u zabbix zabbix -p

Also, make sure your MySQL Grant tables are configured properly to allow '@localhost' to access the database.
