Perhaps the rail app can be told to make use of mysql_config (/opt/ 
local/bin/mysql_config5) that knows the socket location (as follows):
jwa at messiaen:tmp> mysql_config5
Usage: /opt/local/bin/mysql_config5 [OPTIONS]
Options:
         --cflags         [-I/opt/local/include/mysql5/mysql]
         --include        [-I/opt/local/include/mysql5/mysql]
         --libs           [-L/opt/local/lib/mysql5/mysql - 
lmysqlclient -L/opt/local/lib -lz -lm  -L/opt/local/lib -lssl -lcrypto]
         --libs_r         [-L/opt/local/lib/mysql5/mysql - 
lmysqlclient_r -L/opt/local/lib -lz -lm   -L/opt/local/lib -lssl - 
lcrypto]
         --socket         [/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock]
         --port           [3306]
         --version        [5.0.37]
         --libmysqld-libs [-L/opt/local/lib/mysql5/mysql -lmysqld -L/ 
opt/local/lib -lz -lm     -L/opt/local/lib -lssl -lcrypto]
jwa at messiaen:tmp> mysql_config5 --socket
/opt/local/var/run/mysql5/mysqld.sock
jwa at messiaen:tmp>
