This is purely a MySQL permissions issue, nothing to do with your Ruby
code. You're connecting to the MySQL server just fine, but the user and
password you're trying to use is being denied access. Use your favorite
MySQL admin tool to be sure that you're using the correct password for
the user 'root', and that 'root' can log in from 'localhost'.
