ER_ACCESS_DENIED_ERROR from a scaled nodejs application gear to scaled mysql application gear
<p>I've searched and found many posts about setting up one database for use across two scaled applications but none of the suggestions on the post have solved my problem.  </p>

<p>Using a free OpenShift account I have set up two applications.</p>

<p>The first is a php/mysql application where mysql is on it's own gear (not embedded).  I can connect to the mysql application from my php code on the scaled gear and get a simple database query results back.  Everything works as expected.</p>

<p>My second application is a nodejs (sails) application.  It appears that I can connect to the gear that has mysql but I"m getting an error.  </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Details:  Error: Could not connect to MySQL: Error:
  ER_ACCESS_DENIED_ERROR: Access denied for user
  'adminxQbueDZ'@'172.16.4.243' (using password: YES)</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I am able to telnet from my nodejs gear to the mysql gear and get a positive response back.</p>

<p>I have adjusted mysql database permission for the user, added other users and still am not able to connect.  I can connect form my php gear fine with both credentials.</p>

<p>Has anyone had this issue? Have any ideas how to fix it?</p>
