sudo apt-get install php5-mysql -- Sivaji +91 9941 571 690
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?

Odd. I apt-get installed package drupal6 on debian ‘lenny’ last night and it fired up MySql without even asking my permission. Ubuntu may have different policies, though. I'd check the apt logs just in case. cj
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. ________________________________ From: support-bounces@drupal.org [mailto:support-bounces@drupal.org] On Behalf Of Victor Kane Sent: Friday, December 10, 2010 2:28 AM To: support@drupal.org Subject: Re: [support] Drupal on a laptop You don't say how you installed MySql, but this message would appear to indicate that MySql is not running.
