[Rails] connecting to mysql on OS X 10.4

[3quid]

hi chris

I am stuck on the exact same line of code in the book.. i swear there  
is a misprint or something! page 57 right?

anyway, i got past that error by including a specific username and  
password (your login name and password) in my config/database.yml for  
the development and test databases ... it says in the book that you  
may have to do this with some combos of OSX/MySQL/Rails have you done  
that?

anyhoo i now get an error upon reaching the same line in the output  
( identical    test/fixtures/products.yml ) which reads ...

You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occured while evaluating nil.each

plus a whole load of other code if I add -t to the command (full  
output in my thread "newbie generate scaffold")

let me know if the database.yml file solves your initial problem..  
and if you get the same second error as me.
