Brushed 'send'by mistake too early!  The 'would you like to configure' 
line means that mythbackend cannot talk to the mysqld server.
First check that it is running. As in the prior message, mysqld may not 
be starting properly due to systemd misconfiguration.
Try 'systemctl status mysqld.service'

Then run mythtv-setup and check the entries on the first page are 
correct. Then make sure that config.xml and mysql.txt use the same 
values. If you use the files just posted, they go in /var/log/mythtv as 
that is the 'home folder' in that setup (not /home/mythtv)
Check that there are no *other* config.xml or mysql.txt files around.
