收到错误：使用MySQL对Node.js的访问被拒绝

Question

I'm trying to get a node.js app that uses mysql to work. I run sudo node app.js and I get this error:

Express server listening on port 80 in development mode

events.js:48
        throw arguments[1]; // Unhandled 'error' event
                       ^
Error: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
    at cmd.process_packet (/Users/.../Documents/Code/.../node_modules/mysql-native/lib/mysql-native/command.js:35:15)
    at SocketClient.dispatch_packet (/Users/.../Documents/Code/.../node_modules/mysql-native/lib/mysql-native/socketclient.js:105:32)
    at Socket.<anonymous> (/Users/.../Documents/Code/.../node_modules/mysql-native/lib/mysql-native/socketclient.js:59:18)
    at Socket.emit (events.js:67:17)
    at TCP.onread (net.js:362:31)

I set up a secure user and password for mysql but it's not asking me for a password besides one for sudo. I'm a beginner with both node.js and especially mysql so any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

So I contacted someone who had done this before and he helped me through it. Basically I connected to mysql with mysql -u root -p, entered in my password, created the database and put use that database and entered in all the database information. Then in api.js under db.auth, in parenthesis I put the database name, my username and the password, each as strings separated by commas. In a separate terminal tab I then ran the node.js application and it worked.
