I did a search, and found nothing, so here it goes. This is our first time setting up a BOINC server, so we are new to this.

When running the make project script, we get an error:

_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (1045, "Access denied for user 'boincadm'@'localhost' (using password: NO)")

I have already granted permissions to this user with the command

grant all on *.* to yourname@localhost identified by 'password';

using the correct usernames, of course.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you sure with no password?

You need to tell make_project what the database username and password are. See the MakeProject wiki page.

Also, note that MySQL accounts are independent and unrelated from the system accounts. When you ran that 'grant' command, you added a new MySQL user.

Login in directly with the username and password is always the best way to check that your credentials are in order.

This is a mysql problem until that works.

For reasons I don't understand, I have also needed to replace
grant all on *.* to yourname@localhost identified by 'password';
with
grant all on *.* to 'yourname'@'localhost' identified by 'password';
to make it work.
flush privileges; also won't hurt.
