Bug Description

This probably doesn't belong here, but I thought it's worth to document this somewhere.

According to this page in the documentation:
http://docs.openstack.org/cactus/openstack-compute/admin/content/setting-up-sql-database-mysql.html

The mysql root user password is set to nova, but privileges for the nova database usage is given to the "nova" user, who has the password "notnova"

From this page:
http://docs.openstack.org/cactus/openstack-compute/admin/content/setting-flags-in-nova-conf-file.html

it seems like you should use the 'root' user with the 'nova' password in the conf file... it should probably be the 'nova' user with the 'notnova' password. at least only this way it worked for me. you could probably also give the root user privileges for the nova db... anyways, it would probably be more helpful to have that information in the documentation.
