I have spent so much time trying to figure this out and I am lost.
I am trying to make a small web app, watching some tutorials...
I keep getting this error: MySQLdb._exceptions.OperationalError ('1046, No database selected')
This is my code:
# app.py
from flask import Flask, render_template, flash, redirect, url_for, session, logging, request
# from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
# from data import Articles
from data import Articles
from flask_mysqldb import MySQL
from wtforms import Form, StringField, TextAreaField, PasswordField, validators
from passlib.hash import sha256_crypt
app = Flask(__name__)
# app.config['SECRET_KEY'] = 'xxxxxxxxxx'
# Config MySQL
app.config['MySQL_HOST'] = 'localhost'
app.config['MySQL_USER'] = 'root'
app.config['MySQL_PASSWORD'] = ''
app.config['MySQL_DB'] = 'myflaskapp'
app.config['MySQL_CURSORCLASS'] = 'DictCursor'
# Init MySQL
mysql = MySQL(app)
# Setting articles
Articles = Articles()
@app.route('/')
def home():
return render_template('home.html')
@app.route('/about')
def about():
return render_template('about.html')
@app.route('/articles')
def articles():
return render_template('articles.html', articles=Articles)
@app.route('/article/<string:id>/')
def article(id):
return render_template('article.html', id=id)
class RegisterForm(Form):
name = StringField('Name', [validators.Length(min=1, max=50)])
username = StringField('Username', [validators.Length(min=4, max=25)])
email = StringField('Email', [validators.Length(min=6, max=50)])
password = PasswordField('Password', [validators.DataRequired(),
validators.EqualTo(
'confirm', message='Passwords do not match!')
])
confirm = PasswordField('Confirm Password')
@app.route('/register', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def register():
form = RegisterForm(request.form)
if request.method == 'POST' and form.validate():
name = form.name.data
email = form.email.data
username = form.username.data
password = sha256_crypt.encrypt(str(form.password.data))
# Creat Cursor
cur = mysql.connection.cursor()
# Execute Query
cur.execute("INSERT INTO users(name, email, username, password) VALUES(%s, %s, %s, %s)",
(name, email, username, password))
# Commit to DB
mysql.connection.commit()
# close connection
cur.close()
# Message to user once registered
flash('You are now registered and can login, thank you', 'success')
return redirect(url_for('index'))
return render_template('register.html', form=form)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)
If I comment of MYSQL config things I don't get a password denied error, so I am very confused, did I mess up during the MYSQL install?
Further, I have checked my DB exists by using show database; I have accessed the user table inside myflaskapp and also went on phpmyadmin to check.
