babel 2.0 DB login errors in babel log

[zcool]

I have babel 2.0 setup and running. (on CentOs 5.2)
I have agents install on another Fedora 8 machine

my conf file has babel listed as the password but i get this message in the babel_server.log

Could not connect to database: Error 1045 when connecting: Access denied for user 'babel'@'localhost' (using password: YES).

What did I miss?

It's very clear, the server cannot connect to the database.

Alright, go to your /etc/babel/babel_server.conf
take a look at this fields:

user_name
password
hostname
db_name

and now do this:
mysql -u user_name -p -h hostname -D db_name

Change user_name, hostname and db_name for the values you have in the babel_agent.conf (the password will be asked once you press return)

Can you log into the database using that? Probably not :-)

that fixed it.

Thanks
