Hi Jose

It wont be Koha looking for the socket there, its something to do with you
mysql installation that is causing it to look there.
Id check your my.cnf file
In debian this lives at /etc/mysql/my.cnf

In it there will be a line like 
socket          = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

Check what that is set to. And make sure in the 
[client]
In the cnf file its the same value

I hope this helps

Chris
