Hi

I am trying to get connect to mysql database .  
Facing Error: Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘64.95.73.14’ (110)  
(Mysql::Error)

Using Ruby: 1.8.6  
mysql: 2.7

Hey did you check with the premissions of mysql.  
If you are a sudo user you must also give the username and password  
along  
with the connections.

Can you manually log in using mysqlclient?
