running fedora 20 64 bit and I've installed mythtv

I've tried creating a mysql databae called mythconverg

this loop. I've disabled the firewall but still no

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.

Having just gone through that issue, I'll point you at this
thread: <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

Basically, MythTV saves the database password in multiple places.
The current install tool does not do a good job of making them all
agree. You need to find out what the actual password is and make
sure that the backend, the frontend, the backendsetup tool, and
mythweb all have that same password.<br>

<br>
MythTV only stores the password in one of two places. It stores it
in $MYTHCONFDIR/config.xml, if MYTHCONFDIR is defined, falling back
to $HOME/.mythtv/config.xml otherwise.<br>
