Answer by Matthew Flaschen for mysql config, mysql5, macports, python, django

The username should be the MySQL user with rights to the database. When you're logged on as that user, and enter:

SHOW GRANTS;

into the console, you should see a reference to the database name jenniwren. As root, you can also do:

select Db, User from mysql.db where Db = 'jenniwren';

That will show which user(s) have privileges on that database.
