Hi, I'm encountering some strangeness on my production server, and I'm hoping someone has light to shed. I have a table 'new_titles' with one record and a custom ActiveRecord connection to the database w/ this table mapped. I can select the record, but cannot save it. The problem in not reproducible on my localhost either (table and all files are same). Here's what I'm getting:
[code] irb(main):002:0> test = NewTitle.find(:first) => #<NewTitle:0xb76e35e0 @attributes={"title"=>"Rails API", "url"=>"http://api.rubyonrails.org/", "id"=>"1", "description"=>"Bookmark it please"}> irb(main):003:0> puts test.title Rails API => nil irb(main):004:0> test.title = 'Ruby on Rails API' => "Ruby on Rails API" irb(main):005:0> test.save! ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Mysql::Error: MySQL server has gone away: UPDATE new_titles SET `title` = 'Ruby on Rails API', `description` = 'Bookmark it please', `url` = 'http:// api.rubyonrails.org/' WHERE `id` = 1 from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/ active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb:128:in `log' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/ active_record/connection_adapters/mysql_adapter.rb:243:in `execute' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/ active_record/connection_adapters/mysql_adapter.rb:258:in `update' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/ active_record/base.rb:1796:in `update_without_lock' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/ active_record/locking/optimistic.rb:60:in `update_without_callbacks' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/ active_record/callbacks.rb:267:in `update_without_timestamps' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/ active_record/timestamp.rb:48:in `update' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/ active_record/base.rb:1789:in `create_or_update_without_callbacks' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/ active_record/callbacks.rb:242:in `create_or_update' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/ active_record/base.rb:1551:in `save_without_validation!' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/ active_record/validations.rb:762:in `save_without_transactions!' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/ active_record/transactions.rb:133:in `save!' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/ active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb: 59:in `transaction' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/ active_record/transactions.rb:95:in `transaction' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/ active_record/transactions.rb:121:in `transaction' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.15.3/lib/ active_record/transactions.rb:133:in `save!' from (irb):5irb(main):006:0> [/code]
Running the query directly on the MySQL command-line works as expected.
There must be a difference between my local environment and that of production (other than the obvious Mac/Linux difference). Gems are all the same version, and MySQL hasn't changed in either location. Any ideas out there?
Thanks, Aaron
