If you are having problems connecting to the database, this is what you
need to do

sudo vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf
OR
sudo vi /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf
Out-of-the-box, MySQL only allows connections from the localhost
identified by the IP Address of 127.0.0.1.  We need to remove that
restriction, so find the line that says
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
and comment it out.

If you are having trouble connecting to the master backend, you need to
make sure its actual ip address, not 127.0.0.1, is specified in the
mythtv setup on the backend.
