[mythtv-users] FE cannot connect to database

[Mike Carron]

By way of background, my MBE (headless) and three FEs are all running 
Mythbuntu 14.04.3/0.27.5 and all have been running very satisfactorily 
until today when I updated all units. The 3 FEs updated smoothly but the 
MBE ended reporting that my system had a file that had been modified and 
was different from the newly downloaded version. It offered me the 
option to retain my original or change to the new and indicated the 
default was to retain my original. I elected the default but the process 
was not able to complete saying it was going to use 127.0.1.1 in place 
of something that I don't remember. I'm not able to find any log of the 
activity so I can't say what exactly happened.

After the update, all FE attempts to connect to the database fail. 
Looking at the log I see that the FE makes one attempt to connect with 
the correct IP address for the MBE and promptly falls back to using 
127.0.0.1, which also fails. MythWeb works just fine so the MBE is 
clearly talking with the database.

Is there somewhere I can find out how to get this fixed?
