Hi Everyone,

I noticed a strange behavior from Rails, When there’s password in the  
development environnement Rails give me this error

\<\<Mysql::Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query: SHOW  
FIELDS FROM comics\>\>

When I removed the password everything works.

Here’s my database.yml

development:  
adapter: mysql  
database: comics\_catalog\_dev  
username: admin\_comic  
password: comic  
host: localhost

So when I have the configuration shown below, It is working.

development:  
adapter: mysql  
database: comics\_catalog\_dev  
username: admin\_comic  
password:  
host: localhost

Have someone ever experience this kinda problem?

You’re maybe using MySQL 4.1 and there’s problem with the password  
hashing.

Yes I’m using MySql 4.1

So I just need to upgrade to a newer version.

Thank you.
