Had the FOG issue: Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /var/www/fog/management/index.php This is caused by the FOG PHP session looking to connect to 'localhost', the correct password is not being passed causing the failure. Not having time to research the exact fix I found the following is a quick solution..... Before trying to open the FOG management webpage Install PHPMYADMIN (this makes database management easy) Open //localhost/phpmyadmin Create a new user and give them ALL permissions for ALL HOSTS (basically they should be the same as ROOT Check the user is there and the permissions are set correctly. Go into the PERMISSIONS tab and remove the password for ROOT under localhost & 127.0.0.1 Open the FOG webmanagement page Set up the users in FOG Go back to PHPMyAdmin and make sure FOG has been added as a database. You will need to log on as the 'new user' above Reset the root password to something secure (as per pre install???) Open the FOG database Go to Permissions and BLANK the root password for localhost & 127.0.0.1 That should solve the issue.
