[Instantrails-users] Unable to run cookbook example

[Randee Bierlein]

Hi,

I'm new to RoR, just trying to get my environment set up.  I am
following the tutorial at:
http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/tutorial/.  When I point my browser
to http://localhost:3000/recipe/list, the following error appears in
the browser:

Mysql::Error in RecipeController#list
Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

I had this problem before and figured it had to do with privileges.  I
re-installed InstantRails (in a different directory) after being added
to the Administrators group on my computer.  The problem still occurs.

Any ideas?  Now I think it might be an issue with port numbers, but
I'm not sure how to track it down.

Thanks,

R
