I recently had my Ubuntu 14.04 system crash. I did a clean install of 14.04<br>
again and then a clean install of MythTV. I have installed it successfully<br>
numerous times, in the past, from Terminal and Software Center, without<br>
issue.<br>
<br>
Now, whenever I try to install it, I run the back end and I get the message<br>
cannot connect to database, password not correct. I followed some advice<br>
and ran an msql command an reset the password to MythTV. I completed the<br>
back end config and proceeded to the frontend. There, I get an error that<br>
the frontend cannot connect to the back end. May be an IP issue. I never<br>
saw that before. I assume it should be 127.0.0.1, as that is the default.<br>
<br>
I did a purge of MythTV and reinstalled it. When it asked for the d<br>
password, I entered MythTV.<br>

<br>
Where and when?<br>
<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
When the install finished, I ran the Back end,<br>
and was greeted with the same screen asking what language to use, followed<br>
by the cannot connect to database error.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I had similar problems which I still don't fully understand.<br>
<br>
I discovered that the password is not sufficient to login unless the mythtv user was granted the appropriate priviledges. I've logged to mysql as root and used<br>
<br>
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON * . * TO 'mythtv'@'localhost';<br>
<br>
Then I checked that I can login to mysql as mythtv.<br>
<br>
It helped on my Debian jessie installation, but seems not sufficient for Ubuntu 14.10.<br>
<br>
best regards<br>
