So have you created the required mysql database? if so you need to put the 
name of the database host which is probably localhsot in your case, the mysql 
database port which is usually 3306, a mysql user that has priviledges on the 
database and a password for that user.

If this was all done, then you need to check that mysql is running on your 
server. The error message is quite clear imho.
