Do you not use a username and password? It appears that you are not. That is the problem. Try root as the username and a blank password

I have never setup CFAdministrator locally to connect to a MySQL DB. But, I got a new laptop and thought it would be a good idea to setup a "local testing environment on it." I have CF Server 8 - Developer installed I also have MySQL 5.1 installed - and I created a db with a table I go into the CF admin and try to connect - but nothing - so I think my settings are wrong? Datasource:bigfatty Server:bigfatty port: 3306 username: password: And I get the error "Connection verification failed for datasource: bigfatty blah blah Access Denied for user "@'localhost'(using password: NO)" I have no idea what I am doing.... In the past all databases were setup on the webserver by the hosting company.
