Default MySQL password

I am trying to log into the django admin on my installed amazon/rightscale/bitnami stack at http://<mydns>/<project>/admin

The Django doc says that the default password is the root mysql password. THe mysql doc says that the default root password is blank.

When I try to log into the admin OR mysql using the command line on the server I get that the user/password is invalid ..

what is the default root mysql password for the bitnami/rightscale/django stack ..

Thanks

Hi Rick,

can you please try the following default values ?

MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=bitnami_django_root_password
MYSQL_DB_USERNAME=django
MYSQL_DB_PASSWORD=bitnami_django_user_password

let us know if it works for you.

Best regards,
Danoo

I think I have a related problem. As the original poster says, MySQL says its initial root password is empty. I’m trying to log in at the command line to create databases and stuff, and I get this

[jstoner@erzulie]> ./bin/mysql -u root
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ’root’@’localhost’ (using password: NO)

so I suppose you guys set your own default password as part of the install. I tried copying your lines into setup.py (which I think is what you meant) and ran manage.py like the django instructions say, and got

[jstoner@erzulie]> ../../python/bin/python manage.py syncdb
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “manage.py”, line 4, in
import settings # Assumed to be in the same directory.
File “/Applications/djangostack-1.1.1-1/projects/mysite/settings.py”, line 9, in
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=bitnami_django_root_password
NameError: name ‘bitnami_django_root_password’ is not defined

Not sure how to get in and create my databases so I can enjoy the django goodness. Any ideas?

Hi,

To login in the mysql database you should specify the password which is the same that you set during the installation:

$ cd /Applications/django-(version)
$ mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p password

In the demo project created by the installer you can find how to configure the database for your application in the settings.py file.
