Need some quick help here.  I got all my recordings and database

The problem is when I try to install v29 mythtv-frontend on a remote
FE.
It can't find the database.  during install I selected allow remote
FEs
and it commented out the bind statement as expected.

I just can't see what I'm missing.  I have the config.xml in .mythtv
and
in /etc/mythtv/ symbolically linked.

Did your distro install a firewall on the backend?  Mysql/mariadb needs
port 3306 open, and mythtv needs ports 6543/6544/6549/6554 open.


on my server I did the command

netstat -ntlp | grep LISTEN

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:3306          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      -
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:139             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      -
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:6543            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      -
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:6544            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      -
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:6549            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      -

I’m concerned about the 127.0.0.1:3306.  I’m not a firewall expert, but that looks like 3306 is localhost only.
