   Hi my website is thelegalhustle.com

   I just tried installing bbpress, did everything as it said and when I go to the install page i get this message:

   "Warning: mysql_get_server_info(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/usr/local/mysql-5.0/data/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/content/j/o/e/joeknockz/html/thelegalhustle/wordpress/bbpress/bb-includes/db.php on line 73

   Warning: mysql_get_server_info(): A link to the server could not be established in /home/content/j/o/e/joeknockz/html/thelegalhustle/wordpress/bbpress/bb-includes/db.php on line 73
   Cannot select DB."

   I go through GoDaddy on a Linux server so it supports everything bbpress needs...I'm not sure where the error lies..

   This is a common problem with the latest release, especially on GoDaddy (and Dreamhost too, I think.) Anyway, the problem you're describing has been fixed in the trunk releases but not in the public release. The best thing to do would be to download a later revision like r971 or r980. See these posts from sambauers:

   Here is the page where you can download r971 (probably your best bet):
   http://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk?rev=971
