Newbie. I installed mythfrontend plus dependencies on my laptop using the
MythDora 3.2 DVD image. The back end is MythDora as well. I changed the
back end from 127.0.0.1 (two places, same screen in mythsetup) to
192.168.1.66 (IP mildly changed to give pitifully little protection). Myth
on the server still works, so I assume the changes took in both places.
mythconverge user and password mythtv/mythtv, the default.
On the server as root, I ran:
mysql -u root mythconverge
Then, in mysql> I ran
grant all on mythconverge.* to mythtv@"192.168.1.%" identified as "mythtv";
flush privileges;
Both returned with 0 records updated, which I accepted as success (because
I didn't expect any recoprds to change).
Now when I go into mythfrontend on the laptop, it goes into the config
screens with the message that it can't connect with the database.
What should I check/do?
