[mythtv-users] 0.19 Master Backend Can't Connect to Mysql Database

[Chase Douglas]

I have been running mythtv for a while now with a master and a slave 
backend. After upgrading to mythtv 0.19 on both the master and slave, 
the slave can no longer connect. I get the following in the log:

2006-02-14 00:36:54.469 Using runtime prefix = /usr
2006-02-14 00:36:54.487 New DB connection, total: 1
2006-02-14 00:36:54.488 Unable to connect to database!
2006-02-14 00:36:54.489 Driver error was [1/2002]:
QMYSQL3: Unable to connect
Database error was:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket 
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
QSqlQuery::exec: database not open
2006-02-14 00:36:54.541 DB Error (KickDatabase):

SELECT NULL;
No error type from QSqlError?  Strange...
2006-02-14 00:36:54.601 Failed to init MythContext, exiting.

I updated mysql over the weekend to 4.1.14 and re-emerged qt afterwards 
on both master and slave backends. At that point the slave backend could 
still connect to the master backend with mythtv 0.18.1. Now that I've 
upgraded and can't connect, I tried to re-emerge qt just to rule that 
out, and I still get this error. Then I tried mythtv-setup, and after 
supplying the database information, it connected to the database and was 
able to access everything. However, mythbackend still will not connect 
to it. I'm running Gentoo and using the ebuilds in portage for mythtv on 
the slave and master now (didn't on the master until now). What could be 
wrong?

Thank you,
