I’ve just started dabbling in Ruby on Rails using O’Reilly’s example Rolling with Ruby on Rails and I’m having trouble getting it to talk to the MySQL database I have on my Mac. I’m getting the following error:

Mysql::Error in Recipe#index

Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)

Before you ask: Yes, I’m positive I’m using the right password because I can log into MySQL from the command line and through CocoaMySQL

Any help is appreciated, just post a comment.

Edit: I switched from running the server on the command line to running it from Locomotive and it works. (Well, listing and adding a new one. Haven’t gotten very far in the tutorial, yet.) Not a solution for managing a server over SSH, but a solution for developing it.
