The chown errors suggest that you don't have the mysql user and group on
your system. If you installed from rpm or similar I'm surprised they
didn't get created by the install. I would try either reinstalling mysql
from apt / yum / source / whatever, or just try creating the user and
group:
groupadd mysql
useradd -g mysql mysql
Then try the init script again.
