I've shared my video directory using Samba and mounted it on the Win PC. I've also configured the correct IP address and mysql username/password for my backend. However, I always get the message "Database Error" and
<br>"TapeWorm is unable to connect to the MySQL database.<br>Please check TapeWorm's configuration and your MythTV Server's status."<br><br>Is there any way to turn on more debugging messages so I can try and track down the problem?
<br><br>There's nothing unusual about my setup - I've a combined frontend/backend, but I haven't changed any of the ports that the servers listen onand both the myth box and the PC are on the same network so there shouldn't be any issue with the port being blocked. The only messages in the log files are:
<br><br>Traceback (most recent call last):<br> File "TapeWorm.py", line 246, in OnConfig<br>IndexError: string index out of range<br>Traceback (most recent call last):<br> File "TapeWorm.py", line 246, in OnConfig
