I, and several others, had the same problem upon installing and updating
mythbuntu 12.04... but a reboot resolved it.  I suspected that some library
was getting upgraded or soemthing, but because it was in use during the
upgrade the new version was not being used.  One other guy had a DNS issue
(used a static IP and didn't set the DNS servers).

What really gets me is that a working install doesn't work when moved to
new hardware... this rules out anything software related... which makes me
suspect network.

Are you prompted for a password if you go to "/

if you supply your SD credentials you should get a GET method not supported.
