[mythtv-users] Cannot Connect To Backend

[Jay Foster]

I was trying to setup a new FE.  It is stuck in the setup where it shows 
the language/country selections then complains it cannot connect to the 
BE.  I put in the correct IP address, username, and password and it 
keeps failing.

I then went to my BE and checked.  It is only listening on port 3306 on 
the loopback interface.  It is listening on port 6543 on both the 
loopback and the 192.168.x.x addresses.

I then edited the /etc/mythtv/config.xml file and change the <Host> 
field from localhost to 192.168.x.x.  Now when I tried to restart the 
BE, it too gets stuck in the language/country selections then complains 
it cannot connect to the BE.  I changed the config.xml file back to 
localhost, but the BE remains stuck in the cannot connect to the 
backend.  My mythtv system is now completely broken.

How do I fix this?  What is the difference between ports 3306 and 6543?

This is a mythbuntu 14.04.1 system.
	/home/jay/.mythtv/config.xml -> /etc/mythtv/config.xml
	/home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml -> /etc/mythtv/config.xml
	/etc/mythtv/config.xml
	/usr/share/mythtv/config.xml (unused?)
