The error isn't telling you anout mysql, it's telling you about the
conenction (or lack thereof) to the myth backend server.  So what you should
do, instead, is "/etc/init.d/mythbackend start."  But something tells me it
doesn't like one of your settings and isn't starting.  You can check for it
with 'ps ax |grep backend'.  Also, check the backend log in
/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log or wherever yours happens to be.  It might
be grousing about something.
