Jose, Yes, the problem is definitely MySQL. It's either not installed, not running, or there is no "root" account with no password. You'll have to figure out which. How you install MySQL depends on your OS, so I suggest you google your OS and "MySQL installation" and see how to do it. Then you'll need to figure out how to start MySQL. From my experience, this is also different depending on your OS. Google is your friend. :)
Let me know how it goes. --------- Matt Taylor OS Community Flag-Bearer Numenta On Wed, Apr 22, 2015 at 6:58 AM, Jose Luis Contreras Santos <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I am facing some trouble with swarming, and I believe it's related to some > misconfiguration of mysql.
