[mythtv-users] mythfrontend can't connect to database

[Kevin Saenz]

it's not explained well in the documentation from the mythtv install
directory run the following commands

cd setup
./setup

it will generate the gui and allow you to setup the backend once you
have finished you will be able to run mythbackend
