I'm running fedora 20 64 bit and I've installed mythtv twice, once using yum and the second using git and compiling, both times I get stuck in an insane loop of 'mythtv could not connect to the database'. And trawling google I see no straightforward solution to this which is nuts. How do I get past this stuck point?<br>
I've tried creating a mysql databae called mythconverg with user tony, and a password but I still get back to this loop. I've disabled the firewall but still no joy. This is really frustrating so thanks for any help.<br>

Check your process list to ensure the database server is actually running. If you've told MythTV to access the database from a network accessible address, make sure your database server is actually configured to listen on the network, and not just loopback.<br>
