[mythtv] mythbackend not starting

[Doug Beattie]

Bruce:

Thanks for the reply.

I tried to alter the general configuration settings.

I was able to change nad have stick the "Master server IP address"
to my externally viewable address, but when I set the other
"IP address for my <my system>" address to the same value as that
of the master, finish out the general configuration, then exit
and try to run the backend I still get:
	No setting found for this machine's BackendServerIP.
	Please run setup on this machine and modify the first page
	of the general settings.

In fact when I go back into the setup for general items and
check, the Master IP is the new value I entered, but the IP address
for my system has reverted back to the 127.0.0.1 value.

I tried just setting this value, going to the next screen in the
general configuration, then going back to the screen where I set
the correct value and it had already reverted to the 127.0.0.1
localhost value.

Any thoughts on why this is not staying set?
