Rails apps use a database configuration file,
<path-to-your-rails-app>/config/database.yml. When using mysql, there's
often a line in the file for each database like

socket: /tmp/mysql.sock

You could replace that path with the one from your error message,
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. Alternatively, you could just remove the "socket"
lines from the file. I'm on Mac OS X, and I installed mysql via macports. I
find that I don't need to specify the location of the socket, so I just
delete that line.

For future issues with Rails, you should consult the rails-talk mailing
list, http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk .

Good luck,
Craig
