[mythtv-users] Installation database problems

[Marc Kessels]

seems that you have not installed the database yet. did you execute this 
(taken from installation manual):
6.4 Setting up the initial database.
This step is only required on the system maintaining the database, which 
may or may not be one of your MythTV boxes. If the database is on a 
non-MythTV machine, then copy the database/mc.sql file to it.
To setup the initial mysql databases:
$ cd database
$ mysql -u root < mc.sql
