Hello all, I have installed mythbuntu in a virtualbox virtual machine with bridged networking. Nmap says that the ports on the backend server are open (3306, 6543, 22, etc). but ALL PORTS on the frontend are closed. I don't know why, but my frontend (192.168.1.103 in virtual machine) cannot connect to the backend (192.168.1.100). I get the " No UPnP backends found" message. <br>
<br>I believe this is a database error, and indeed I cannot connect to the database from the command line on the frontend, BUT I CAN connect to database on the server). I have granted all mysql permissions to the user@"%". I have tried to diable the firewall using firestarter, but nmap -sS frontend still says the ports are closed and mysql cannot connect but just hangs for a long time. I have already changed the bind-address to 192.168.1.100 in my.cnf so I think mysql is listening on the right interface. Is there something with virtualbox that is blocking the ports? Do I even need any ports open on a frontend? Why doesn't disabling firewall in firestarter open the ports? Thanks...<br>
