NodeJS/mySQL - ER_ACCESS_DENIED_ERROR Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Question

I am attempting to connect to mySQL through a NodeJS file, but I receive the following error:

{ Error: ER_ACCESS_DENIED_ERROR: Access denied for user \'root\         


        

Answer 1

I had the same error from nodejs script, so i removed password parameter and now it magically works fine

var mysql = require('mysql');
var connection = mysql.createConnection({
    host: 'localhost',
    user: 'root'
});
