Looks like something is messed up with your MySQL installation. The mysql.user table should definitely exist. Try running the command below on your server to create the tables in the database called mysql:

mysql_install_db

If that doesn't work, maybe the permissions on your MySQL data directory are messed up. Look at a "known good" installation as a reference for what the permissions should be.

You could also try re-installing MySQL completely.
