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.
