Hi David,

It looks like you haven't created the recipes database in MySQL.  Did  
you import the recipes.sql file into your MySQL database?

Also, I highly recommend using version 2 of the libDatabase library  
(available from the same page as version 1).  Version 2 does not have  
an example stack but there is a getting started doc which describes  
the differences between version 1 and 2 along with code explaining  
the main functionality.
