Comment (by pbennett):
These lines in the log reveal the problem. It found a backend via UPNP and
then tried to use the link-local address for SOAP, which does not work.

I tried to reproduce it on Linux, but I cannot. If I have a backend
running it retrieves the address successfully and connects.
This should not happen anyway. If your backend is running it means your
setup has been done, so you should have a config.xml available to mythtv-
setup.
Your problem should be resolved if you make sure there is no backend
running when doing setup for the first time. In that case the setup
prompts for your database settings and then proceeds normally.
It may have found another backend on another server that is not relevant
to what you are doing. If you have multiple backends going this kind of
thing can also be avoided by setting a PIN on your backends (i.e. on that
other server, in mythtv-setup, General, Host address backend Setup, set a
PIN other than 0000).
