[mythtv-users] cannot connect to database

[staticsupply]

Wonderful that took care of the permission issues.  I was able to put change
my.cnf file to #bind-address 12.0.0.1,  however, when I load the frontend on
my backend machine I still get sent to the language screen and then the
database set up screen followed by cannot login to database?

What else could be causing this issue?

Better approach is to use sudoedit, as it runs $EDITOR (meaning the 
user's preferred editor) with the non-privileged user's privileges, so 
any bugs/holes in $EDITOR are less likely to be a problem.  Instead of 
running the editor as root, it simply copies the file (to and fro) to 
work around privilege issues.

sudoedit /etc/mysql/my.cnf

or whatever...
