hi all,

I been spending days tring to resolse this error… I am following curt  
hobbs tutorial "rolling with ruby on rails. originally i installed  
MySQL with a pasword so i was running into problems trying to connect.

Mysql::Error in Recipe#new  
#28000Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: NO)

I removed the password and now i am getting another error:

Mysql::Error in Recipe#new  
#28000Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)

Any info or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I am stuck and don’t know how to get around this error.

This is a bug that is addressed in the book “Agil Web D. with  
Rails”. They say to put a username in you .yaml and it will work.

After making a change in database.yml, did you bounce the server? Stop  
and restart whichever web server you’re using so it can load the new  
user info.

Best,

Hi, I’m having the same problem, and I tried Charlie B.'s suggestion  
unsuccessfully, would anyone mind explaining the remedy in more detail  
or sharing something that works?

thank you,  
John

It’s the solution. I had the same error because I forgot restart the  
server after change database.yml

Thanks!

Good solution guys, thanks. I am also using the “Rolling with Ruby on  
Rails Revisited” tutorial, and it says to configure the  
‘ODBC’@‘localhost’ connection. If you were sucessfull at doing this  
then replace the ‘root’ username in database.yml with ‘ODBC’. Then it  
worked.
