note: all references to the root user refer to the mysql root user, not
the OS root user.
you need to configure mysql to accept [EMAIL PROTECTED] w/o requiring a
password. to do this, temporarily remove root's password.
mysqladmin -u root -p password ''
this will prompt you for root's current password. now when the dbd::mysql
tests run, they should be able to log in as root w/o a password. when
you're done, reset the password back by running:
mysqladmin -u root password 'my.original.pass'
this time you shouldn't need to enter a password because you disabled it
with the first command.
