So,
It seem that in some cases you can get this really funny error on JRuby
when the pure Ruby MySQL driver says "Connection refused". Now, this can
sometimes be resolved if you replace "host: localhost" with "host:
127.0.0.1" in your database configuration.
Why is this? Well, if you look in the lovely mysql-code:
* if (host == nil or host == "localhost") and defined? UNIXSocket then
Now, the problem here is that we actually _have_ UNIXSocket defined. It
just doesn't work. So the MySQL stuff will fail.
Not really sure exactly why it doesn't ALWAYS fail, but replacing
localhost to 127.0.0.1 will consistently fix it.
Cheers
