Couldn’t create database for {“reconnect”=\>false, “encoding”=\>“utf8”,  
“username”=\>“root”, “adapter”=\>“mysql”, “database”=\>“app\_production”,  
“pool”=\>5, “password”=\>“pp”, “socket”=\>"/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock"},  
charset: utf8, collation: utf8\_unicode\_ci (if you set the charset  
manually, make sure you have a matching collation)

Trying to do this on mysql, worked fine in staging…not sure what’s  
going on
