I’m going through the examples in the Rails book and I’m hung up on  
scaffolding. I actually got it to work last week. This week, having  
changed nothing it doesn’t work. So I’m going through the depot tutorial  
on a new server and now I can’t even get scaffold to work. I’ve set up  
the database, and everything is correct in my database.yml file. What  
could the problem be?

-jailshell-3.00$ 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  
Access denied for user ‘libhost\_deopt’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)

==

development:  
adapter: mysql  
database: libhost\_depot  
host: localhost  
username: libhost\_deopt  
password: libhost\_depot

Any tips/pointers are welcome.

would help to know version of mysql and rails being used.  
you may want to look at thread immediately above this one, or see
