[mythtv-users] IMDB lookup fails in MythWeb 0.21

[Johnny Russ]

I saw other threads discussing that solution, but I didn't think that 
they applied to my situation. Those threads indicated that there was an 
error message when that path was incorrect. I only have one machine that 
functions as both my frontend and backend. The 'Path to imdb.pl on this 
webserver:' is set to '/usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/scripts/imdb.pl'. 
This is a local address so I believe the webserver can access it. How 
can I check to make sure? Any other ideas about what could be going wrong?
