If MySQL was already installed, running, and configured in your PHP setup,
then you should be fine. If you see permission errors though, you might need
to check up on the permission settings in your MySQL setup.

If you do need to, I'd check the MySQL documentation
(http://dev.mysql.com/doc/) on "user account management" to make sure your
username and/or network location (IP address, localhost, etc.) are
configured for access.
