Have you been setting up user id's and passwords on your MySQL database, failing to connect usually means that your code can't find the tcp/ip connection, or that the logon/password failed. Connecting to a specific database is handled by other functions after connection to the database server. If you are using everything right out of the PHP Triad "box", perhaps seeing a section of your connect code would help (If you have set up other userid's, I probably can't help so don't send them).
MySQL needs to have the mysql database defined (as distributed) in order for things to work on the server. Some newbies have made the mistake of dropping databases that were not theirs.
