[mythtv-users] Missing guide information

[Nathan Hatch]

I've actually been having some issues getting MythWeb working correctly. 
The troubleshooting guide indicates that it's an issue between the 
version of MythTV and MythWeb. I downloaded the latest version of 
MythWeb, which matches my MythBackend version, however, it can't connect 
to my MythTV database. I'm wondering if it's an issue with Apache. The 
information I've seen points to a file in a directory like /etc/apache2. 
(I can't confirm, as I am currantly at work, and don't have access to my 
home computers at this time.) I don't see anything on my workstation 
indicating anything about apache2, so I don't know where to look, or how 
to properly configure MythWeb to see my backend, and connect to the Myth 
database. The next problem is that like I said, I'm running Fedora 8, so 
repositories such as ATrpms, which carry the MythTV rpms and other 
Fedora 8 rpms so longer have anything listed for Fedora 8. Only Fedora 9 
and newer is listed. This has happened before, and forced me to upgrade 
to a newer version of Fedora. I'd like to get things up to date, and 
working without upgrading Fedora.
