[mythtv-users] Running MythWeb on a Different Server to MythBackend

This is exactly the issue.  Mythweb really is just another version of 
the frontend (in all respects, it acts like a frontend)..  If you're 
getting an fsock error in mythbackend.php, it has nothing to do with the 
database config..  Mythweb connects to the database, looks up where to 
find the backend, and then talks directly to it.  If your 
backend/frontend are currently on the same box and talking via 
127.0.0.1, Mythweb will pull that address and of course have trouble 
talking to itself if no backend is on the server.

I don't remember how to get into the first-run settings that ask for the 
master server IP, but if you want to edit it by hand, just use:

SELECT * FROM settings WHERE value="MasterServerIP";

or

UPDATE settings SET data="192.168.0.21" WHERE value="MasterServerIP";
