Is it really needed? Can't you just use a binary file like almost every 
game does?

Did you try first running the MySQL database (so you'll have something 
to connect to)? Just a guess, because you didn't mention that your MySQL 
server is running in your e-mail.

Unless you really need multiple clients accessing your database at the 
same time, you'll probably be satisfied with SQLite (it doesn't need a 
db server, so it's faster). That is, if you really need a SQL database.
