Syntax error, unexpected ')'

Rails
1

Hi,

I tried the sample program for AJAX from the following site.

I created a table called catalogs and set the values.

I tried to load the data while entering the title of the book in the
text field,
I am getting the error messages

=====
SyntaxError in CatalogController#get_article_list
D:/ruby/Projects/catalog/app/models/catalog.rb:14: syntax error,
unexpected ‘)’

I tried to identify the cause of the error.
I colundn’t

This is the controller

class CatalogController < ApplicationController

def index
end

def get_article_list
@section=request.raw_post

@catalogList=“

    ”

    Catalog.find_by_sql( “SELECT * from catalogs WHERE title =
    '”+@section+“'” ).each do|catalog|
    @catalogList+=“

  1. <a href="”+catalog.url+“">” +catalog.title+
    “
    2. ”

    end

    @catalogList+=“

”

render :text => @catalogList

end

end

This is model

require ‘rubygems’
require ‘active_record’

class Catalog < ActiveRecord::Base
set_table_name “catalogs”
end

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
:adapter => “mysql”,
:host => “localhost”,
:database => “mydatabase”,
:username => “root”,
:password =>
)

Please help me to figure out the reason for the error and give your
valuable suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

this line

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
:adapter => “mysql”,
:host => “localhost”,
:database => “mydatabase”,
:username => “root”,
:password =>
)

should have some value for the :password thing.
either use
:password => nil
or
:password => “”

Hi,
After I changed the above modification in the model,
I am getting the following error.

Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: NO)

This is my database.yml content

development:
adapter: mysql
encoding: utf8
database: mydatabase
username: root
password: password
host: localhost

The password also set as ‘password’ for the database,
eventhough i gave the password I couldn’t get the out put.
what changes shoule be made.

Thanks in advance,
Ravi

Hi,
Just check this…
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
:adapter => “mysql”,
:host => “localhost”,
:database => “mydatabase”,
:username => “root”,
:password => “”;
)

I hope this will work.

Get rid of that semicolon. Putting the mysql connection stuff in the
model class is a bit odd.

You’re not using database.yml because for some reason you’re
establishing the connection by hand in catalog.rb. If you’re going to
go that route then the call to establish_connection must contain valid
credentials (check them in another mysql client first)
