[zenoss-users] 2.2 Fresh RPM Install on CentOS 5.2 Failing MySQL Init

[James Pulver]

Basically you have to set the root password in MySQL to blank during the 
install. Then you can reset it back to a strong password once done with 
the install. (unless you install from source)

Following the installation instructions linked below, I used yum to install the prerequisites then installed Zenoss and attempted to start it.  The one step I took that was not covered in the install docs was setting the MySQL root password, as this just seemed like a smart step to take.  Unfortunately, when I attempt to start Zenoss, it appears to fail because it cannot connect to MySQL.  As well, I am seeing a couple of missing files.
