[mythtv-users] Cannot get the backend to run

[Mark Knecht]

What am I missing to get this backend to run?

When I try to start the backend on this server it fails with a fairly
clear message:

2009-05-22 12:15:23.786 Using runtime prefix = /usr

However when I try to run mythtv-setup it fails with a message that
looks like a privileges issue:

The databse is open, I think, as I can access it from the command
line, but only saying the host is localhost, not from the IP address
of the machine:

mark at MacMini ~ $ mysql -p -u mythtv -h localhost mythconverg
Enter password:
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mark at MacMini ~ $ mysql -p -u mythtv -h 192.168.1.61 mythconverg
Enter password:

Now, I've run the commands to set priviledges a couple of times, but
apparently I haven't done it right, or I'm missing some other setup
thing.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mark
