Hello there!

I am a Ruby on Rails newbie… Am currently reading the book, “Agile  
Web D. with Rails”, and am on page 57.

When I typed “ruby script/generate scaffold Product Admin”, I got the  
following error (Please note that this is the second time I ran  
this command and that’s why one will see the “identical” status marker):

Raven:/Developer/DevResources/Ruby/RailsApps/depot untz$ ruby script/  
generate scaffold Product Admin  
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  
#28000Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: NO)  
Raven:/Developer/DevResources/Ruby/RailsApps/depot untz$

I am using ruby 1.8.3 and rails 0.14.3 on Mac OS X Tiger…

Many, many thanks!

Kindest regards,

Unnsse

You get this when MySQL needs a password to connect to the database.  
Check your config/database.yml file and make sure you’ve put the correct  
password in there

You have the same username with a different password for the production  
db. Create another valid user for production with a different pwd. I  
think it’ll solve the problem.

Hello again,

When I checked my database.yml file and placed my user name and  
password…

And this is the new error that I get:

Raven:/Developer/DevResources/Ruby/RailsApps/depot untz$ ruby script/  
generate scaffold Product Admin  
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load': syntax error on line 17, col -2:`production: (ArgumentError)

Here’s the contents of the database.yml file:

development:  
adapter: mysql  
database: depot\_development  
socket: /tmp/mysql.sock  
username: untz  
password: shabu

# Warning: The database defined as ‘test’ will be erased and

# re-generated from your development database when you run ‘rake’.

# Do not set this db to the same as development or production.

test:  
adapter: mysql  
database: depot\_test  
socket: /tmp/mysql.sock  
username: untz  
password: shabu

production:  
adapter: mysql  
database: depot\_production  
socket: /tmp/mysql.sock  
username: untz  
password: wibble
