1) Check mod_event_socket is enabled to load on start in autoload_configs/modules.conf.xml

2) Check freeswitch is running:
$ ps -C freeswitch -f
UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
999      12993     1  1 14:44 ?        00:00:23 /usr/bin/freeswitch -u freeswitch -g freeswitch -nc -rp -nonat

3) Check freeswitch is listening on the ESL socket:
$ netstat -anp | grep :8021
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:8021          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      12993/freeswitch

4) Check the freeswitch.log file to check mod_event_socket tried to load, and for any errors while loading. Or for startup errors if freeswitch isn't running at all.

Note if it's listening on 127.0.0.1:8021 then you won't be able to connect from remote machines. If you need that set listen-ip to 0.0.0.0 and make sure you change the default password and you should also consider using ACLs or a firewall to restrict who can connect.
