Installation reset mysql root user password to the one in config

Created by: naiquevin

I just tried installing gitlabhq on my local machine (Ubuntu Lucid) by following the installation guide from the wiki. Somewhere during the installation, it asked me for my mysql root password which I provided. After installation, I found that I couldn't login to mysql.

Then, out of curiosity I opened the config/database.yml file where password mentioned was "secure password" and tried to login using it and it worked!

I am not much experienced with ruby/rails, so not sure what caused it. Has anyone else faced this before ?

PS. I installed Linux.stable
