Hello there.<br><br>I downloaded a binary and installed it along with mysql on my windows 7 machine.<br><br>I configured mysql according to this web page <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythTV_on_Windows" target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythTV_on_Windows</a><br>
<br>When I ran the myth backend I used these settings<br><br>Database host name : localhost<br>Should I test connectivity : yes<br>Database port : 6543<br>Database name mythconverg<br>Database user name : mythtv<br>Database password : mythtv<br>
Unique identifier : Quad-Core<br>Wake-On-Lan no<br><br>The error I get is<br><br>Cannot connect to port 6543 on database host localhost<br><br>The port is open in my router.<br><br>I don’t know how to troubleshoot this, I don’t know if this is a mysql problem or a mythtv problem or a router problem.<br>
<br>Any help would be greatly appreciated</blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Try using a MySQL client to connect to your database. Have you created the mythconverg database yet? The error is a IP level error, at a CMD prompt, what does "telnet localhost 6543" give you? </div>
<div><br></div><div>The router doesn't matter, you aren't connecting from the outside. Unless the Windows firewall is blocking your connection? I'm not sure if it does anything with localhost connections as I have never used Win7. </div>
