Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'

Rails
1

Hi guys,
You know the simple “Hello World!” application which get rails to say on
a web page “Hello World!”, yeah? Well i’m am having trouble with it.
Everytime i go onto the http://localhost:3000/say/hello it come up with
this:

Mysql::Error in SayController#hello
#28000Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: NO)
RAILS_ROOT: C:/ruby/demo

I have a password and i am not using a database
I have put my password into the database.yml file and this still comes
up
What should i do?
Thanks
Chris

if you want to go topless, here is
a way to do it. it will take a little bit
of effort.

up to you.
