OK, we'll worry about that later. You need to make sure your backend is
setting up your database properly. You did run mythtv-setup, right?

OK, so you have mysqld running as the mysql user. That's good.

Agreed.

run

mysqlshow -umythtv -pmythtv

you should see

the mythconverg part is the important one.

Is your mythbackend process running / has ever run?

ie, ps auxww | grep [m]ythbackend shows something like

root     13918  0.0  6.7 167660 17212 ?        Sl   Mar23   0:01
/usr/bin/mythbackend --logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log

and /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log exists and has info in it

If not, I'd really recommend the path of least resistance and download
the KnoppMyth (http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html) iso. Burn, boot and
install. This will wipe out the machine though.
