<html><head><style type='text/css'>p { margin: 0; }</style></head><body><div style='font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000'>I have a backend on the latest 0.25-fixes that went "belly up" on me the other day (it boots to a BusyBox prompt, and I suspect the hard disk failed). My main PC in my house is running Ubuntu, so I figured I'd configure MythTV on it since my tuners are 1 HDHR and 1 HDHR Prime. I have no problem starting over from scratch with a fresh MythTV installation, I just don't want to reinstall from a Mythbuntu CD.<br><br>My main PC used to have act as a frontend, but now I'd like have a combined BE/FE combo. I tried using the mythbuntu control center to configure the backend role, but whenever I run mythtv-setup, it tells me that it can't connect to the mysql server, even though its running. I get prompted for my country and language, then it says that it can't connect to my mysql database on my IP. So, what I want to know is the following:<br><br>1) How do I remove the previous FE stuff?<br>2) How do I configure mysql properly so the mythtv-setup will connect to it.<br>3) Are there any other "gotchas" that I haven't covered in this approach?<br><br>Thanks for any advice!<br>Harry<br><br></div></body></html>
