Hello there,

Since last week i updated my mythtv setup to version 0.27 on fedora and all is well. It was verry scary because i am using iptv and on 0.25 en 0.26 it was really broken that is why i stayed on 0.24..;) But can say iptv is working like a charm in 0.27.

But now my problem.. After i installed everyting all was working well the only failure i have is that mythbackend is not starting on boot. The problem i have with it is that if i start the script mythackend gets an error

QMYSQL: Unable to connect
Database error was:
Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES)


But when i start mythbackend manual under the user mythtv with the command " /usr/bin/mythbackend --daemon --logpath /var/log/mythtv" everything is working fine.

I saw during startup in the log that the script was looking for config in the /var/lib/mythtv so i thought ok the files like mysql.txt and config.xml are in my setup under /home/mythtv/.mythtv so decided to softlink the dir .mythtv to /var/lib/mythtv/.mythtv but no luck.. Still i get the error above.

Secondly the script i use is still an old startupscript because fedora decided to go to services.. I was wondering does anybody have an working services startup script or has figured out how to get the mythbackend script to run?

Thanks for the help so far

Regards
Quint
