[opencms-dev] newbie has connection problems with setup wizard

[Ray Tayek]

hi, trying out opnecms. got mysql installed on slak 8.0. added a root 
password (opencms) like the doc says, so i can do a: use mysql;  if am root.

running the setup wizard (as root on the same box) wants a password for the 
database connection and the opencms connection as user root in both cases. 
entering opencms in both locations results in a:

Could no connect to database via: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/
java.sql.SQLException: Invalid authorization specification: Access denied 
for user: 'root at localhost' (Using password: YES)

-------------------------------------------
java.lang.NullPointerException

-------------------------------------------

anybody got a clue?

thanks
