In that link it says to run this:
echo ‘ALTER DATABASE librenms CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;’ | mysql -p -u librenms librenms
Enter password:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘librenms’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)


I don’t know what this password is. If I set it up, I don’t remember what it is. Can I reset it?

Also I’m getting errors about the time.

have you take a look into /opt/librenms/config.php

there you’ll find credentials needed to connect to database

Thank you. That did fix that part of it.

So now I am facing the issue with the other part, the date colums in the data base are incorrect.
The only thing I’ve changed is in /etc/php/7.2/cli/php.ini I put America/Chicago for the date.timezone and the same thing for /etc/php/7.2/fpm/php.ini. Was I not supposed to put that in there? I’d put it back how it was but I didnt backup the file or do I remember what was in there… oops.

https://docs.librenms.org/Installation/Installation-Ubuntu-1404-Apache/

"
In /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and /etc/php5/cli/php.ini , ensure date.timezone is set to your preferred time zone. See http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php for a list of supported timezones. Valid examples are: “America/New York”, “Australia/Brisbane”, “Etc/UTC”.
"

maybe this helps

the docs just talk about install/basic setup but not about my issue. Those 2 files dont exist on my system.

searching here in Forum gave me several similar results:
e.G. Timezone mismatch between server and mysql database

could you take a look in there, please?
