You are likely not allowing mysql connections from the hostname that  
apache is reporting. If you don't know your hostname, check your mysql/ 
apache logs to see why it's denying access.
Or it could be something as simple as using the wrong password  
(assuming you've changed it from the default "mythtv" you need to also  
change it in your config file for apache.

mysql> grant all privileges on mythconverg.* to mythtv@"hostname"  
identified by 'mythtv_password' with grant option;

will likely fix your problem.
