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>

Having just gone through that issue, I'll point you at this thread:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=151">https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=151</a><br>

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>
