the username and password and they show up as I changed them in<br>

the beginning of the configuration page. </blockquote><div><br>When you talk about the configuration page, are you referring to the mythtv-setup pages?<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
At this point I see that<br>
username and password are not as I have changed them, but have reverted<br>
back to the original "username=mythtv" and password=mythtv".<br>
<br>
It seems to me that this may be my problem, that whatever username is<br>
set to, it is not being recognized.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>These values are stored in the database. When mythtv-setup runs it tries to store them in the database. If it fails to access the database (there are multiple reasons why this could happen), then I believe it goes back the beginning with all of the default values again. Things revert to the default values because none of the changes made could be written to the database. There may be an issue with usernames and passwords and mysql. You can test if things are setup correctly by trying to login to mysql on the command line by running:<br>
<br>mysql -u root -p<br>mysql -u mythtv -p mythconverg<br> <br>The first command will try to log in as root. The second will try to login to the mythconverg database as mythtv user. If you have the wrong password or the mythconverg databse doesn't exist then you should get errors indicating such. I am not sure what the commands are to change the mysql password but you should be able to find that in the mythtv wiki.<br>

What do you think?<br>
<br>
I know there is more to do, but this seems to be my first sticking point.<br>
