<code>In MATE's menu I found "System > Administration >

That screen went away and "Database Configuration 1/2" appeared
with the following error message:<br>

I'm still not able to configure the backend. Is it possibly because
I installed MySQL myself before installing MythTV? If so, do I need
to create the database and user in MySQL? If so, where can I find
instructions on what to do?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
