It appears you are not providing username and password for your development and test databases. You should verify you are able to connect to your database using

rails dbconsole

which will provide a database specific SQL-prompt that uses the credentials you provide in database.yml. While sqlite3 is a file based program which does not need login credentials you will need them even for development mode if you use a database that is able to use different schema.

If you set up your development schema to work without a password you will still need to provide the schema name as username as in

username: easyEventTracker_development
