Hi Folks!<br>
<br>
Yes, same newbie who just received help getting his Frontend to
consistently locate and latch on the the Backend. (Well that
sounds a little strange!!) Subject was "FrontEnd will connect if
it feels like it".<br>
<br>
Was trying to work on an unrelated and so far unasked problem
where I am unable to record from a specific station/substations.
Was testing with "Watch Live TV" and I thought the Frontend had
locked up due to no signal but that might have been when the
Backend failed. Have tried rebooting, both reboot and power off
for several minutes. MCC > MySQL > Lanuch MythTV Setup goes
to the language screen.<br>
<br>
Can't copy the screen but where it paused is "Can't connect to
MySQL Server on 'MythBE1' (111)"<br>
<br>
<br>
In case the MythFrontend log does any good:<br>
<br>

pastebinit '/media/barry/ADATA UFD/MythBE_01' <br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://paste.ubuntu.com/18841136/">http://paste.ubuntu.com/18841136/</a><br>
<br>
<br>
Hopefully this makes sense -- I'm a little freaked out right now!<br>

TL;DR on the "FrontEnd will connect if it feels like it".<br>
<br>
The thing to do here is try to connect to the database using mysql
command line<br>
<br>
mysql -u mythtv -p9uKbDz3G -h serenity mythconverg <br>
<br>
substitute your password after -p and server name instead of
serenity.<br>
<br>
You need to be able to connect from both backend and frontend
machines.<br>
