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?

I have mysql 5 installed and the database

Why the message, what am I missing
please?
