I'd like to run a MythTV backend on it. I'm to the point of running MythTV-Setup. It asks for country and language. Then the screen disappears, a grey screen briefly reappears, then MythTv-Setup quits and that's the end. It won't restart if I try. If I go look at MySql, I see that it has created 81 tables in the database, a few of them have some entries in them.<div><br></div><div>If I drop all of the tables form the database, I can at least repeat that much of MythTV-Setup again.</div><div><br></div><div>Some possibly useful details.</div><div><br></div><div>Mac Mini Server mid 2011</div><div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; ">Mac OS X Server Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)</div></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; "><span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: medium; background-color: rgb(243, 243, 243); ">Server version: 5.6.13 - MySQL Community Server (GPL)</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; ">MythBackend-v0.26.0-175-g7f71e02.dmg (64 bit version)</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; "><br></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; ">The wiki specified that I should use MySql 5.1.
