Hi,
thanks for your response.
 
we changed the database path connection to mysql database in drupal as following
database_connection=mysql://tiger:goDB@localhost/mydatabase?unix_socket=/opt/drupal-6.16-0/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock
 
it starts to run, but when we take a look at it through the web browser(127.0.0.1:8080), the right column (history panel) of galaxy is not work normally, showing  error traceback. is it still connection problem, or database broplem?
 
thanks in advance for your more help.

Hello,

The problem is that the connection string is a URL, it shouldn't have the path to the mysql binary in it (should just be "mysql://tiger:goDB@localhost/mydatabase")  Also, Galaxy and drupal are different and unrelated pieces of software, and Galaxy should have its own dedicated database.  Galaxy should work with mysql, but we highly recommend postgres.
