I set the datbase.yml to root and a password, but I kept getting a ActiveRecord missing parameter error. Apparently, rails wasn't connecting to the MySQL server with a password. Something to do with the using old passwords setting (hack for phpmyadmin)? If you get these errors, just create a user for the rails database that has no password. With that user everything worked fine. Ed

I was running into the same thing. I was able to keep the password by enclosing it thus: 'password'
