LinuxQuestions.org - Domo and mysql wont talk

Hello. So, I'm trying to get Domo v2.3 up and running, but am running into some problems with the MySql. Currently running Fedora Core 2 with MySql v3.23.58-9, should be the most up2date via yum. So here is the problem;

I can get on mysql via the mysql command with user root, enter my password that I have set, and use the default database 'mysql'. Its all good as far as I know as mysql knows. The problem is that when I try to give the Domo setup wizard the information, with database being mysql and host being localhost, and user being root with the correct pwd, I get the error message:

Code:

 

 [0] [SetupDialog::createDbase] Error: Failed to connect to database 

 Root cause: Method: 'Dbase::createConnections' 

 Message: Failed to open database 'localhost@mysql' as user 'root' using driver 'QMYSQL3'

For some reason, the database 'localhost@mysql' just doesn't look right, I don't have host 'mysql', so I tried swapping the host and database name to get an error message that complained of not being able to connect to 'mysql@localhost' as root user.

I consider myself a non-newbie, spend a lot of time on the terminal, and know a bit about linux, but MySql is a new bird to me. Any help/comments? Would be most certainly appreciated. Thanks
