I opened those ports but when I started mythfrontend on the remote
machine, I get this set of messages over and over:
QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
2007-04-03 00:54:53.523 DB Error (KickDatabase):
Query was:
SELECT NULL;
No error type from QSqlError? Strange...
2007-04-03 00:54:53.575 Database not open while trying to load setting:
TVVidModeWidth0
2007-04-03 00:54:53.577 Unable to connect to database!
2007-04-03 00:54:53.577 Driver error was [1/2003]:
QMYSQL3: Unable to connect
Database error was:
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'muses' (113)
If I kill iptables on the server, mythfrontend seems to work fine on the
remote machine. Is there another MySQL port I need to open the server or
is there one I need to open on the client?
Thanks!
