This really ought to be an FAQ; I think this question has been asked
half a dozen times in the last week alone.

Make sure that you have mysql.txt files that are identical and correct,
in /.mythtv, ~root/.mythtv, and ~user/.mythtv (where "user" is the user
you run mythfrontend as).

See the "slave/master interaction" thread for a more detailed
explanation of this.
