<br>><br>> then your local mysql client is trying to talk to the *local* mysqld<br>> server... which does not have a mythconverg database....<br><br>(For the archive) This does not apply to curtlee's situation, as the
<br>log posted earlier in the thread stated:<br><br>2007-03-24 20:32:35.892 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host:<br><a href="http://5.142.138.236">5.142.138.236</a><br><br>This shows the frontend successfully connecting to the mythconverg on
<br>a real IP - the log would have stated something like (from my MFE<br>log):<br><br>2007-03-19 11:43:05.826 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: localhost<br><br>if mysql.txt file specified localhost as the DBHostName
<br><br>As curtlee reinstalled and has things working now, I guess we'll never<br>know the exact reason for the connection problems.<br><br>Nick<br>--<br>MythTV Official wiki:<br><a href="http://mythtv.org/wiki/">http://mythtv.org/wiki/
