[mythtv-users] mythbackend startup problems

[Edward Barrow]

aah that was it, sorted, thanks.

Turns out that the version of mysql.txt in /etc/mythtv/ was quite 
different to the one in ~/.mythtv/  So I copied it over, and now it 
works - but only after chowning the file nfslockfile.lock in the media 
folder, which is owned by the last user to run the backend.

thanks again.
