"Lost connection to MySQL server" error

Rails
1

Have things running great on my local webrick. Decided to set things up
on the local server and I get this error:

Mysql::Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query: SHOW FIELDS
FROM users
RAILS_ROOT: script/…/config/…

So I thought it might be struggling to connect to mysql, so I tried with
sockets instead of port 3306. No difference unfortunately. I can connect
successfully to mysql on 3306 remotely anyway, so that shouldn’t be a
prob.

So what else could it be? Help!
