Hi Everyone!

We do not recommend using AWS for this course, but if you are using the AWS version of Cloud9 then you'll need to skip to this lecture to see how to add a password to the MySQL connection code. 

Once you've reviewed the extra steps then you can circle back and watch the Connecting Node to MySQL lecture, just be sure to add in the root password as described in the link/lecture above.

If you're using the original c9 that Colt uses in the videos then you won't have to worry about these extra steps.

Thanks,
