I’ve been successfully read and writing to a MySQL database on one
server from my RAILS application on another server for almost a year.
For various reasons that I aren’t important I tried to switch to
another database server. I can access, read and write to that
database server from my application server via the mysql command, but
when I attempt to load the console it takes a really, really long time
to load the console. Then when I try to read the first record of an
arbitrary model the console hangs again for a really, really long time
and comes back with this message:
Mysql::Error: Can’t connect to MySQL server on ‘72.32.121.29’ (110)

I’m really confused why the servers can talk via the mysql command and
not via the rails app. Any help would be appreciated.
