Mysql::Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query

Hello,

This might have very little to do with Typo but suddenly my connection
to mysql isn’t working (it might have happened after an apt-get update
but I’m not sure).

When I try to access my blog it fails and in the log it says:
Mysql::Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query: SELECT *
FROM articles LIMIT 1

Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

Running:
Ubuntu
Rails 1.1.4
mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.22, for pc-linux-gnu (i486) using readline
5.1
mongrel

If I log in to the database with
mysql -u user -p
with the same credentials as in database.yml it works like a charm. I
also tried adding socket: in database.yml.

Hello,

This happens sometimes in development mode. Are you sure you’re in
production mode ?

Best regards,
Frédéric

Pretty sure, unless the -e production in mongrel_rails has stopped
working.

Even though it had nothing to do with Typo I still believe it’s good
manners to post the solution.

Added:
deb Index of /ubuntu dapper universe multiverse
deb-src Index of /ubuntu dapper universe multiverse
in /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient15-dev

gem install mysql
and then it worked to compile the ruby-version 2.7.

Then I restarted mongrel and it was all peachy again.
