Hi, I have been connecting Django to MySQL using a DATABASE_USER='root' and DATABASE_PASSWORD='' (those are single quotes - empty string) until today. It all worked fine. Today I try to lock down my database by adding a password to the root user. So I type;
$ mysqladmin -u root password "mynewpassword" That works and I must now login to mysql using the password. Then I change settings.py to read DATABASE_PASSWORD='mynewpassword'. Then I type; $ python manage.py dbshell That works. However, when I try typing; $ python manage.py runserver I get can't connect ! Does anyone know what might cause this ? Here is partial trace, if that helps; $ python manage.py runserver Validating models... Unhandled exception in thread started by <function inner_run at 0x4c07b0> ...
