[support] Drupal on a laptop

[Metzler, David]

To me, this message doesn't indicate that mysql isn't running, but
rather that mysql support for php is not there.   A prior reply to this
suggested a sudo command for performing that install.  You might want to
give it a look.

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?
