[mythtv-users] trying to install mythtv on windows 7

Hello there.

I downloaded a binary and installed it along with mysql on my windows 7
machine.

I configured mysql according to this web page
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythTV_on_Windows

When I ran the myth backend I used these settings

Database host name : localhost
Should I test connectivity : yes
Database port : 6543
Database name mythconverg
Database user name : mythtv
Database password : mythtv
Unique identifier : Quad-Core
Wake-On-Lan no

The error I get is

Cannot connect to port 6543 on database host localhost

The port is open in my router.

I don’t know how to troubleshoot this, I don’t know if this is a mysql
problem or a mythtv problem or a router problem.

Any help would be  greatly appreciated
