[mythtv-users] MythTV Backend Crash after MythWeb access

Easiest way to troubleshoot this might be to start logging the backend
output with something like  "/usr/local/bin/mythbackend -d -v -l
/var/mythbackend.log".  That will log all backend access and then
MythWeb, or PHP I should say, will log its errors to the apache
error_log (mine is /var/log/apache/error_log).
Hope that helps.
