I'm new to Django and MySQL, and am trying to continue a project written by a previous developer. 

I've just finished a fresh install of MySQL (didn't set any password). When I run `python manage.py syncdb`, I get the error:

```
python manage.py syncdb
/home/home/.virtualenvs/sorrento/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/debug_toolbar/settings.py:134: DeprecationWarning: INTERCEPT_REDIRECTS is deprecated. Please use the DISABLE_PANELS config in theDEBUG_TOOLBAR_CONFIG setting.
  "DEBUG_TOOLBAR_CONFIG setting.", DeprecationWarning)

OperationalError: (1045, "Access denied for user 'home'@'localhost' (using password: NO)")

```

This is the database config in `settings.py`:

```
########## DATABASE CONFIGURATION
# See: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#databases
DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': '',
        'USER': '',
        'PASSWORD': '',
        'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
        'PORT': '',
    }
}
########## END DATABASE CONFIGURATION

```

Since `NAME` is empty, does this mean there isn't a database set up? Do I need to get a database dump from the previous developer? Or is there something else I'm missing?
