fastcgi issue on production

I just deployed my rails app to my production server. It's all working locally, but when I switched it over to the production server (at dreamhost) I get this error:

Does anyone have any ideas of what's going on?

dispatch is set to the correct path, db is right. So I don't know what I'm doing wrong here.

It continues - I've got two of the controllers working, but not the blog controller. Here's development.log:

I haven't been able to figure out what's going on. Anyone have any ideas?

Hey brien, even i am not sure here, but i guess just you can try this, try change the path of your /tmp/mysql.sock' (2)) (i assume that user who creates /tmp/mysql.sock in production mode has write permission)
