[support] Drupal on a laptop

[Victor Kane]

You don't say how you installed MySql, but this message would appear to
indicate that MySql is not running.

On my Ubuntu laptop, from a terminal I did:

$ ps -ef | grep mysql
mysql    25011     1  1 07:21 ?        00:00:05 /usr/sbin/mysqld
1000     28598 28579  0 07:26 pts/1    00:00:00 grep mysql

So, first off, is it running?
