RoR error - Mysql2::Error Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'

Question

I have one ruby on rails site running and working. I have created a new project and pointed the subdomain to it. That all worked. I changed the database.yml to a new user I created in my database and I run rake db:create without any issues and the databases are created, but when I go to my subdomain in my browser I get the following error:

Mysql2::Error Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

Why is this?

I am using passenger and apache, I've set it up the exact same way as the other project. — Mike, Oct 27 '13 at 15:13

I have fixed it by creating a restart.txt in the tmp directory of my project. http://www.modrails.com/documentation/Users%20guide%20Apache.html#_redeploying_restarting_the_ruby_on_rails_application
