On Heroku, Cedar, with Unicorn: Getting ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: PGError: SSL SYSCALL error: EOF detected

Question

Heroku support says this has to do with their version of libssl on shared databases, but we\'ve encountered it on a project that\'s on a dedicated database, too.

Answer 1

Heroku support suggested that I add this to my Unicorn config:

Append to your config/unicorn.rb:

after_fork do |server, worker|
  if defined?(ActiveRecord::Base)
    ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection 
  end
end

I added it and we haven't seen a single PGError: SSL SYSCALL error all day.
