This is the settings.py file for python. I set mysql up via macports (mysql5 & mysqldb) The problem is that I am unsure if I have the configuration correct before I sync the db. The user name to connect mysql is different than the user with privileges on the db but the password is the same on both the connect & user with privileges. Which user name should go in the settings.py file? Port should be left blank, I believe the default is 3306. I hope that's correct? thanks....

DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql' 'NAME': 'jenniwren' # Or path to database file if using sqlite3. 'USER': '*****' # Not used with sqlite3. 'PASSWORD': '*******' # Not used with sqlite3. 'HOST': '/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock' # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3. 'PORT': '', # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3. } }

The username should be the MySQL user with rights to the database. When you're logged on as that user, and enter:

SHOW GRANTS;

into the console, you should see a reference to the database name jenniwren. As root, you can also do:

select Db, User from mysql.db where Db = 'jenniwren';

That will show which user(s) have privileges on that database.
