It might still be about database credentials. What happens when you do:
"mysql -h127.0.0.1 -umythtv -pcrap0 mythconverg
Confusingly, mysql client's idea of what "localhost" is is not the same
as Myth's. MythTV makes a network connection to the loopback address,
like any normal app, but mysql client uses a local UNIX socket. It's
possible to have the database credentials set up in a way that works
with one but not the other.
