If you’re getting this error:

Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2)

When you try to execute a migration, it might be worth trying:

rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

I’m sure this could be solved in a configuration file – database.yml (?) – but that worked for me.

Also, on Dreamhost, make sure to add the following line

‘host: mysql.<dbhostname>.com’ to your database.yml file (under the production environment)
