Hi;

OK, I'd suggest just getting MySQL going 1st, so,could you please
just post the output of (there shouldn't be any password in them):

   cd /etc;sudo grep mysql passwd shadow group group-

   Expect something like:

   passwd:mysql:x:102:105:MySQL Server,,,:/var/lib/mysql:/bin/false
   shadow:mysql:!:14726:0:99999:7:::
   group:mysql:x:105:
   group-:mysql:x:105:

and:

   grep "user.*=" /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Then, as long as user = mysql, and it should,

In one window (I know you said this was empty):

   sudo tailf /var/log/mysql/error.log

And in a 2nd window:

   tailf /var/log/syslog

And in a 3rd:

   sudo start mysql

Then post the output in your dropbox of choice.

I'm sure this has been discussed at length and you may
search: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/.
Sorry, I don't know of a document to recommend.
