I was following a couple of different wiki's and I think the reason I am having so much trouble is that there are so many different versions and distros of linux that its hard to write exact directions for something.<br>
<br>I installed it directly from atrpms .. I seem to remember it had some problems with the install esp pertaining to "mythconverg" but seeing as though it took me like 3 days to figure out how to get mythtv to install at all I was happy and proceeded to continue with the setup. It would seem like mythtv is ALMOST working at least in a basic form its just that it cannot connect to the database. <br>
<br>It goes to the Console and continually tries to connect to the database to no avail. <br><br>It would seem there are some issues with permissions too it wont let me access mysql from root at all.. and for some reason it instructed making mythtv accounts.. I really dont understand the reasoning behind most of the wiki. <br>
<br>The one Ive been following has been the one on <a href="http://wilsonet.com/mythtv">wilsonet.com/mythtv</a> seeing as it deals with fedora versions of mythtv. I did however notice that it doesnt seem to extend to fedora 11.<br>
<br>I could always take the easy way out and just install mythdora but I am wanting to learn as much as possible..<br><br>please let me know if I still havent given you enough information to help and perhaps what information you would require..<br>
<br>Thanks so much,<br> Tim<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at 7:43 PM, R. G. Newbury <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:newbury@mandamus.org">newbury@mandamus.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I have mysql and mysql server installed.. I have mythtv installed but it says It cannot connect to mythconverg database.<br>
<br>
I checked to see which databases were on my computer and mythconverg isn't one of them.<br>
<br>
Please forgive me if this is all basic stuff, I am new to linux and trying to pick it up..<br>
<br>
I am running Fedora 11<br>

Need more info about how you got to where you are/aren't.<br>
If you installed .21 from atrpms, then it should have set up the database as part of the install.<br>
<br>
If you installed .22 and compiled from svn, then you have to get your hands dirty, and 'pick it up yourself'<br>
<br>
Don't worry, there have been at least a couple of thousand innocents before you (including me!). The documentation and the wiki both cover how to do this and the list archive at gossamer-threads is searchable.<br>
