its possible that either the socket is already in use or the the path
for the socket is false…

Assuming that mysql is actually installed and running,

check that what you’ve got in database.yml (in the socket parameter)
matches what’s in /etc/my.cnf
If database.yml doesn’t specify the socket then it’s probably falling
back on some default, so set it to whatever is in my.cnf

Awesome, thanks
it’s working now,
I specified the socket and it’s working fine
