Hi Paul,
great! I have edited config.dat, in
Name: mythtv/mysql_host
Template: mythtv/mysql_host
Value: localhost
Owners: mythtv-common
Flags: seen
I had "Value: 192.168.0.1" which I replaced with "Value: localhost",
that did it. I probably could have changed that also in a
dpkg-reconfigure somewhere.
So it seems that the IP is translated to a hostname by the install
script and after that, authentication fails. And I thought, it would be
more secure to put the IP in!
Thanks a lot! Everything is good now.
Cheers
Matthias
