Question

I am new on Grails. I have installed grails version 2.0.3. Whenever i run my app it gives same errors. I am unable to find reason behind this. I am giving complete stacktrace below:

| Packaging Grails application.....
[Fatal Error] plugin-list-grailsCentral.xml:14058:53: XML document structures must start and end within the same entity.

Kindly help me that which is causing this. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Stacktrace says that Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'.

Make sure that you have running MySQL instance on localhost, that have user root without password (because stacktrace says that you didn’t specify any). You can check it by calling:

> mysql -u root --password='' -D %YOU DATABASE NAME%
