Hi Harry,

The default configuration connects to "localhost" so you must not be 
connecting to localhost for your database.  Do the following:

mysql -uroot

GRANT ALL ON mythconverg.* TO mythtv@'%' IDENTIFIED BY "mythtv";
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
GRANT CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES ON mythconverg.* TO mythtv@'%' IDENTIFIED 
BY "mythtv";
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
\q

Try again.


Michael
