You're using the Debian packages, right? If so, make sure you are using 
the database credentials in

/etc/mythtv/mysql.txt

and that you are logged in as the 'mythtv' user.

You can check connection to the database from the command line by using:

mysql -u mythtv -p mythconverg

and entering the DB password when prompted. This should get you the 
'mysql>' prompt. Enter '\q' to exit.
