Can u connect to the database via

mysql -u [usename] -p [database] 

?

It seems to be that your username und databasename is empty.

Greetings Thomas

yes I can connect without a problem

Can you post your database.yml config (feel free to change your
password to xxxxx).

This seems to be related to the known issue surrounding mysql connections that
came out in the last RC but was fixed in the very latest ActiveRecord.

Search the list archives for your error message - threads yesterday went through
the fix (which was essentially to update to the new 1.0 release and force
dependencies to be updated as well).

"Imagination is more important than knowledge."

. if possible update to the rails latest gems
. if you have the option, update mysql to at least 4.1
. what version of mysql are you using?
. have you looked at previous threads?
	Subject: "Problem with mysql"
	Posted yesterday.
	And there are more threads that talk about this.
. you may want to change the passwords to either the old- or new-style
    as a last resort if nothing else works for you. This has been
    discussed in a previous thread. I think here,

tow things that worked for me in the past:

1)instead of granting @localhost, try to grant @127.0.0.1  (bizarre, but 
worked for me, i just can''t remind the link where i read)

2)if using mysql 5, do check for old/new password style

good luck
Andre
