[Serusers] ser_ctl question

Hello: I'm just starting to make a serious attempt to build a SER v2 system. SER is built, ser_mysql has been executed and the MySQL tables defined. With mysql -user -p I can access the database with ser_ctl add domain I cannot. I get the following error. DB_URI in serctl.conf was changed to reflect the new password for the ser user. Yet I still get the following error. Any ideas why? ser_ctl domain add myschool.edu ser_ctl: (1045, "Access denied for user 'ser'@'localhost' (using password: YES)"): OperationalError Thanks,steve Senior Network Engineer, Information Systems and Computing Networking and Telecommunications , Suite 221A /6228 University of Pennsylvania Voice:215-573-8396 FAX:215-898-9348
