It's alive and working very well now. The change of ownerships sorted
everything out. And Geoff's pointers helped me out with where to look for
setting the correct ownerships.

Thanks very much Bill, you were extremely helpful.

Cheers, Duncan

1st things 1st;)

Do all the files in /var/lib/mysql have owner and group = mysql?

   sudo ls -lAR /var/lib/mysql

Note that in the mysql.conf file in /etc/init, if the /var/run/mysqld
directory exists, it won't be created with the proper user and group, so if
you've already done the steps in your 1st post, then when you correct the
user to mysql, mysqld won't be able to write to that directory.

So, remove the directory then sudo start mysql, or just reboot.

Take care,
