[mythtv-users] MythWeb without MythBackend

Funnily enough, since I wrote the original message I did pretty much
that! Now, because I didn't have mythbackend and was installing from
RPMs I had to do "--nodeps" on my RPM to get it on there, but it seems
to work like a champ. Now all I've got to do is go in and fiddle with
Apache security... :)

Thanks!

Certainly, just install it on the other server and edit the conf.php in
your config subfolder to point to the DB server.  I believe MythWeb gets
the information about the backend IP, etc. from the DB directly.
