I can connect to the DO’s db from the app server through the flag command just fine, that’s how I exported the database .sql there successfully.
But the rails app is another story, it’s like it’s trying to look for a local mysql server even though I believe I’ve specified everything in the database.yml file. The error:
Mysql2::Error::ConnectionError: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
The database.yml file:
default: &default
adapter: mysql2
encoding: utf8

socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

I only have mysql-client installed, version 8 same as the DO server.
mysql Ver 8.0.19 for Linux on x86_64 (MySQL Community Server - GPL)
Puma is starting rails with production as environment, as it should.
IDK what else to put in the database.yml to tell rails to stop looking into a local server.

Hi there @hiagos93,
According to the error that you are getting I think that your Rails App is trying to connect to the
default
profile as in there you’ve specified the/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
socket.Besides that, your
production
configuration looks correct.I think that you just need to set your Rails env to
production
and it should pick up the correct database config.Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
