I attempt to obtain training gene sets for my new species using autoAug.pl on RNAseq data. I am sure I installed prerequisite software of PASA (http://pasapipeline.github.io/#A_sii) and I installed latest version of PASA.
I wouldn't be surprised if the MySQL instance wasn't switched on, or the user you've supplied can't read or write to the database, or the database "my_pasadb" wasn't initialized yet (run "CREATE DATABASE my_pasadb" inside MySQL to initialize it). A quick skim of the manual shows that there are no steps on properly setting up the database and users.
