The obvious question is: Is MySQL running? Make sure by looking at your running processes 'ps -xa' shows everything on the system. The error your getting refers to your DB not being able to be contacted. Make sure you have also already set up MySQL correctly(howto's are good for this) and also make sure that your using a valid user/pass combination in your test script.
