Please put your replies at the bottom!<br>
<br>
According to Mike a randomised password is automatically generated,<br>
but you say it asks you for one.<br>
I would suggest that you give a password when asked and that you both<br>
in ~/.mythtv/config.xml and in mysql check if it is actually that<br>
password BEFORE running mythtv-setup or mythbackend. If you start<br>
mythbackend the default way, it IS run under the user mythtv.<br>
Mike named /home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml assuming you run as user<br>
mythtv. If you run as another user make sure that .mythtv/config.xml<br>
is present in that home directory and contains the right information.<br>
If you run both back and frontend on the same machine and do not plan<br>
to run a frontend on another machine you can use localhost as hostname<br>
else use the ip-adress or, if you have a stable dns, the hostname.<br>
