When i /etc/init.d/mysqld start, it says:

Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon.
Starting MySQL: [FAILED]
When I /sbin/chkconfig mysqld on.. it appears to work.
When I try to run any part of Mythtv, it says 2005-06-20 08:10:32.726

Thanks for any help, Ian.

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.
