you can check if connection possible running following script:

require './config/environment.rb' # assuming script located in root of rails app begin   activerecord::base.establish_connection # establishes connection   activerecord::base.connection # calls connection object   puts "connected!" if activerecord::base.connected?    puts "not connected!" unless activerecord::base.connected? rescue   puts "not connected!" end
