Problem with database creation.

Added by Semyon Sobolev over 11 years ago

Probably my question is silly, but I need some help to understand what could be wrong in my configuration.

I’m using Ubuntu 12.04, 64 bit.
Here is my database.yml

production:
  adapter: mysql
  database: openproj
  host: localhost
  username: openproj
  password: openproj
  encoding: utf8

development:
  adapter: mysql
  database: opendev
  host: localhost
  username: openproj
  password: openproj
  encoding: utf8

# Warning: The database defined as "test" will be erased and
# re-generated from your development database when you run "rake".
# Do not set this db to the same as development or production.
test:
  adapter: mysql
  database: opentest
  host: localhost
  username: openproj
  password: openproj
  encoding: utf8

When I run rake db:create:all
I get an error.

Database creation error.

What should I investigate or configure to resolve this problem?

Thank you!

I’ve changed username in database.yml to root and the problem is solved.

But I don’t want to use root sql user for OpenProject, how can I fix this?

Hi Semyon,

do you use OpenProject 2.4 (stable) or the OpenProject beta (3.0) ? The installations instructions differ depending on which version you use.

Maybe you can get some insight from the installation instructions for OpenProject 3.0 for Ubuntu 12.04, especially step 8 “Configure your DBMS”.

yours,
Philipp

Thank tou, Philipp.

It was my mistake - wrong permissions for SQL user. But the error confused me.
