Run, as root:

/etc/init.d/mysql restart


You can double check that your settings are correct by using the mysql
command line client.  On the machine you're running the front end, you
should be able to run:

mysql --user=<user> --host=<host> <db_name>

where <user>, <host>, and <db_name> are whatever you set up for
mythtv.  If you can't connect to the database with mysql, you won't be
able to do it with mythfrontend either.
