Connecting to mysql on OS X 10.4

i have looked in the archives, i have the agile book, and its links
right in front of me, and i have done pretty much everything i can
think to do except start from a fresh OS install, and yet i still can
not get Rails to talk to MySQL.

when i try to do this:

237:/Library/WebServer/Documents/Rails/depot chris$ ruby script/
generate scaffold Product Admin

i get this output:

   exists  app/controllers/
   exists  app/helpers/
   exists  app/views/admin
   exists  test/functional/

dependency model
exists app/models/
exists test/unit/
exists test/fixtures/
identical app/models/product.rb
identical test/unit/product_test.rb
identical test/fixtures/products.yml
Access denied for user: ‘xxxxxxx@localhost’ (Using password: YES)

the use in question exists, and Lasso (http://omnipilot.com) can get
to the databases just fine, as can i in cocoamysql – so i know the
user/password combo works. it has for a long, long time.

so, i’ve tried the fixconfig and such…

here’s an example output:

hi chris

I am stuck on the exact same line of code in the book… i swear there
is a misprint or something! page 57 right?

anyway, i got past that error by including a specific username and
password (your login name and password) in my config/database.yml for
the development and test databases … it says in the book that you
may have to do this with some combos of OSX/MySQL/Rails have you done
that?

anyhoo i now get an error upon reaching the same line in the output
( identical test/fixtures/products.yml ) which reads …

You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occured while evaluating nil.each

plus a whole load of other code if I add -t to the command (full
output in my thread “newbie generate scaffold”)

let me know if the database.yml file solves your initial problem…
and if you get the same second error as me.

This will help with your mysql binding problem in OSX:

You might also check to make sure you’re using the new mysql password
hash that appeared in v4.1. If you’re still using the old hash I don’t
believe Rails 1.0 or newer will connect.

any ideas would be soooo appreciated.

heh – yah, i got there, eventually.

that’s not it though, sorta.

well, we’ll see.

i ended up going to mysql 5, cause, why not?

now i get this:

b00ty:/Library/WebServer/Documents/Rails/depot chris$ ruby script/
generate scaffold Product Admin -t
