I had this same problem on a qube3.

couple of things to do:

1- use this code to check that php has mysql support, <?php phpinfo(); ?> 

2- check php.ini (probable somewhere like etc/httpd/.  It needs to have unix extention "extension=mysql.so" uncommented.

3-I have found that even if php is compiled with mysql support you may still need to open a TCP port. I use this in my code:
mysql_connect("localhost:/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock","mysql","secret");

where "mysql" is the dbname and "secret" is the password.  I would check the path to mysql.sock as I am not sure where it is on a raq.

Hope this helps
