Re: Getting a strange error message when setting mysql database

I've just figured out that the password set was wrong. I previously passed as the root one, which was wrong. Now, it worked out of the box.

Hi,

After setting the following:

        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', # postgresql_psycopg2', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
        'NAME': 'testdb',                      # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
        'USER': 'testuser',                      # Not used with sqlite3.
        'PASSWORD': 'xxxxx',                  # Not used with sqlite3.
        'HOST': '',                      # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
        'PORT': '',                      # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.

I got the following error:

What is the culprit?
