I just joined a web dev project that uses Symfony 1.4 on CentOS 5.4 with MySQL. The server is down. My first task in the project is to get it back up. I don’t know a lot about Symfony.
The Apache server log says
Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
From all I can tell, the database access configuration is stored in
/var/www/html/<project name>/config/databases.yml
and for some reason, there’s also some config in
/var/www/html/<project name>/config/propel.ini
There was no password for user root in either of the files, so I thought adding it and restarting Apache would finx the issue. It does not, the error message stays the same. I might be looking at the wrong config files, but I can’t find any other.
Any wild guesses how to fix this ?
Cheers,
ssc
OK, I know now what I did wrong: The password indeed has to be added to databases.yml, but whenever the configuration is changed, the symfony cache needs to be cleared by executing
in the
/var/www/html/<project name>/folder.
