the config.xml file by running mythtv-setup. If you have already
run mythtv-setup it will have created the config.xml file in the
$HOME/.mythtv directory of the user that ran mythtv-setup. You can
copy that config.xml file to the $HOME/.mythtv directory of the
mythbackend user.<br>

Here is the content of .mythtv/config.xml in my home directory. <br>

The UserName and Password look correct to me. The LocalHostName
seems strange. Is it supposed to have something else in there
besides my-unique-identifier-goes-here?<br>
<br>
But here is the content of config.xml in mythtv's home directory:<br>
<br>
<tt><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"

I renamed config.xml to a backup name.<br>
I copied config.xml from /home/rsteff/.mythtv to
/home/mythtv/.mythtv. <br>
I ran chmod 777 config.xlm on the copied version. (This matches the
settings on my older Myth machine.)<br>
Then I ran MythTV Backend Setup from the Gnome menu, exited,
answered yes to starting the backend.<br>
On my desktop machine, in Firefox, I went to
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://192.168.0.106:6544/">http://192.168.0.106:6544/</a> and I have a connection.<br>
<br>
I don't see anything that shows me scheduling information, like the
old MythWeb. Is that supposed to be there, or is that something
coming later?<br>
<br>
I think I read somewhere that the old MythWeb would still be
available. I still get "Unable to connect" when I go to
192.168.0.106. That's what I used to use to connect to my old Myth
machine. (192.168.0.102)<br>
<br>
Thanks for making things clearer.<br>
