<div>Mike, how would one configure mythfilldatabase (or the
backend) so that it always logs data to /var/log/mythtv? I
just checked my mythbackend log file and I noticed that it's
trying to create the file in /var/log (which it doesn't have
permissions to).<br>

Use the new --logpath rather than the old --logfile. Set the path
to somewhere the user that runs mythbackend has write access to.<br>
