Hi guys, I am going through the Agile Web Development with rails book and i have come to the part where you have to do ruby script\generate Product Admin

I am not on rails 2.0 because it caused me problems. I think i am on 1.2.6 But my problem is that when i do that command this happens:

C:\ruby\depot\>ruby script\generate scaffold Product Admin &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;exists app/controllers/ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;exists app/helpers/ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;exists app/views/admin &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;exists app/views/layouts/ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;exists test/functional/ &nbsp;&nbsp;dependency model &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;exists app/models/ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;exists test/unit/ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;exists test/fixtures/ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;identical app/models/product.rb &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;identical test/unit/product\_test.rb &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;identical test/fixtures/products.yml #28000Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

What should i do?

Thanks Chris

Is the contents of your config/database.yml correct (the error message suggests not), ie are the connection details, password, database name etc... correct?
