[mythtv-users] newbie HELP: mysql.

[clemens at dwf.com]

OK, I played with MythTV about a year ago, but am starting over again on a new 
machine.

Ive got as far as setting up the data base.

For a Redhat/Fedora System the instructions say to use

    mysql -u root < mc.sql

This gave errors for me, but

    mysql --password=<my mythtv password> < mc.sql

did work, so I will assume that I have done whatever this is suposed to do.

HOWEVER, when I get a few pages further, and try

    mythtv-setup

I get rolling errors that say:

    Database not open while trying to save setting: Language
    Unable to connect to database.

Now mysqld is running on this machine, there are no firewall protections 
against ports,
so ANY IDEAS WHAT I AM DOING WRONG?
