Yes Nick, those are the commands. I think first I did one of the less
open ones but when it didn't work I issued the ones above.

Mainly I was using these pages:

http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/MythTV
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-6.html

The commands were just copied from the myth.org page.

I hope it is clear that this is a COMPLETELY new server. There are no
recordings and I can do ANYTHING to get it working, including throwing
away ALL mysql stuff and starting over from scratch. It's not an
issue.

I also modified /etc/mysql/my.cnf changing the bind address:

# security:
# using "localhost" in connects uses sockets by default
# skip-networking
bind-address                            = 192.168.1.61
port                                    = 3306

I'm not sure about that extra port=3306 though.

If it matters, there is another working Myth backend on the network at
192.168.1.59. This new machine is at 192.168.1.61.

Thanks,
Mark
