I have a single box serving as DB/back/frontend, and I'd like to utilize my already running separate DB server, but it doesn't quite work. I first dumped all mythconverg data from my running box, imported it into my DB server, edited the mysql.txt file to point to the new DB server, stopped mysql on the Myth box, and restarted back and front ends. Everything works fine, I can watch TV, browse the EPG, record, playback, etc, the only thing that doesn't work (and is a showstopper) is that mythfilldatabase fails with an error about not being able to connect to the database. I haven't dug too much into it, but does mythfilldatabase not use the mysql.txt settings? And has anyone done this successfully? Perhaps I could setup mythfilldatabase to run on the db server....kind of a hack though...

Thanks
Tom
