[mythtv-users] Re: Live TV viewing blocked by non-existent recordings

[John P.Hoke]

Hi, I am new on this list and I hope I am not breaking any netiquite 
here... but ...

That sounds like mythbackend is not running, not the mySQL server. The 
"Master Backend Server" is mythbackend

Try opening a console and typing
mythbackend

then retry running mythfrontend

(I am assuming that you are running everything on one box here)
