rails server works... but cannot generate scaffold

I ran my rails app correctly with rails s -e production, but when I run rails generate scaffold Campaign title:string owner:string I get 

/Users/myhome/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.0.0/gems/mysql2-0.3.11/lib/mysql2/client.rb:44:in `connect': Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

Why is it so ? apache is correctly running since the app is running

I think you have specified the socket only in production section in database.yml.

When you do rails generate.. it will be run in development environment. So it is not able to connect to mysql database. Also while you are developing, there is no need to run the app in production mode. You can just use rails s to run it in development mode.

On a side note, on the production server, you will have to specify the production environment like this

RAILS_ENV=production rails generate ..
