Thank you SO much for you expertise and assistance!!!!!!!

| Post subject: | SOLVED: R5E50 Frontend Help Needed |
OK, I installed R5E50 on my main backend/frontend box. Then I installed R5E50 on my frontend-only box. I used the instructions from the knoppmythwiki: http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=FrontendOnlyInstall But I still get the error from my frontend-only box that it can't connect to the database. Aargh! Here's exactly what I've done. On the backend/frontend machine: Stopped the mythtv-backend . Ran mythtv-setup, in General, changed the IP addresses from 127.0.0.1 to the true external IP address of eth0. Edited /etc/mysql/my.cnf . Commented out "bind address" line . Restarted mysql . Restarted mythtv-backend . On the frontend-only machine: Stopped the mythtv-backend . Stopped mysql . Edited /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt Changed the first line entry from 'localhost' to the external IP address of the backend's eth0. Set 'localhostname' to 'mythfe1' (hostname of frontend-only box). Rebooted frontend. All I get is the "Myth cannot connect to the database" error, as it forces me to the mythtv-setup General menu. Where am I going wrong? The backend was installed from scratch just this past weekend. Any help would be sincerely appreciated! Thanks in advance. |

See this link. http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-6.html You'll need to setup MySQL security. Follow the link above and at the bottom of the page you will see three examples of how to set security. |

I had to laugh, when I saw the hair comment. I am a long-hair and I was pulling my hair out on this one, when I saw something on the MythDora forum referring to that portion of the MythTV install docs. So like you, I breathed a great sigh of relief when it all came together and was able to find the backend database. |

Thanks again. I'm pretty sure I would have resembled Lex Luthor within a week if it hadn't been for your help. 
Now to see if I can figure out how to get CC /vbi working for the frontend... |
