[mythtv] Debian install problems (mysql connect failing)

[Joe Stump]

Stan,

If you've installed mysql from the deb tree (apt-get install mysql-server
mysql-client) you can type "mysql -uroot" and you should get a mysql prompt
if all is working well (exit quits).

Subject: [mythtv] Debian install problems (mysql connect failing)


I'm trying to get MythTV installed on a Debian box.

I've been able to add the apropriate bits to apt-get's sources list, such
that an apt-get -t unstable mythtv is able to locate, and downlod all teh
required packages.

However when apt tries to configunre mythtv it fails. It appears that this
failure is because it cannot connect to the mysql backend.

Since I'm unfamilar with mysql (I use PostgreSQL), I really don't know
where to go on this.

How should I proced on geting this working?

How can I test to see if mysql iitself is working?
