I'm running mythbackend as user mythtv.  The home directory for this user
was created as /var/lib/mythtv, and I have
/var/lib/mythtv/.mythtv/channels.  I've run mythtv-setup as mythtv and the
channel icons look okay when running it.  Immediately afterward, I've run
mythfilldatabase as the mythtv user.

I have also tried changing the mythtvbackend user to my main user, running
everything as him, with the same results.

My log looks like this after trying to grab an icon with

Is there a way to show the errors loading the channel icons with the
frontend?  I see no evidence of errors when running mythfrontend --loglevel
debug.

/var/lib/mythweb/data is 755 apache:apache, as well as
/var/lib/mythweb/data/tv_icons, which is empty.  /var/lib/mythweb/data is
symlinked from /usr/share/mythweb/data

Should these directories be apache:mythtv 775?  I'm going to give that a
shot.

http://backend:6544 shows myth status

Likewise for me. I also get the status menu.

I'm most concerned with getting the icons working when using LiveTV in the
frontend.  Getting them working in mythweb would be a nice bonus, though. :)
