All that it's really telling you is that MySQL *client* support is
enabled in your version of PHP. That doesn't say anything about whether
or not the MySQL *server* is running.
You need to get ahold of the person responsible for MySQL on the machine
in question and ask them to create a MySQL account for you, and what
your MySQL user name and password are. If you're the one responsible
for MySQL, you have a little work ahead of you, because you'll need to
ensure that the server is up and running. I suggestion beginning with
the post-installation instructions in the MySQL manual or with a general
MySQL text.
