orthoMCLInstallSchema error : cant form a databse

Question

[vjain]

I am trying to use orthoMCL and getting struck at step4. I am referring to the manual (Easy way to run easily orthoMCL (Copy & paste))

I am facing the following error :

DBI connect('orthomcl','vjain@ .com',...) failed: Access denied for user 'vjain@ .com'@'localhost' (using password: YES) at /home/cds003/Documents/orthologs/OrthoMCL/bin/../lib/perl/OrthoMCLEngine/Main/Base.pm line 61.

Please help me sort.

sounds you like you don't have access to the mysqlDB (duh :) ), check the values in the orthomcl.config file and make sure that you have access to the mysql server from where you want to run orthomcl (if not all on the same server), also check if the username that is passed to DBI connect is the same one as has access to the mysql server.

Alternatively, you can use orthofinder if you can not have access.

I have redacted your exact email address from the error log above.

What organism are you working on?

If its prokaryotic, I'd strongly advise using roary instead.

You could use PorthoMCL, it is a faster and mysql-free reimplementation of orthoMCL.
