HI all,

at the start of the year, i started my first linux project which consisted of a knoppmyth mythtv backend and an XBMC frontend (using mythtv scripts). Unfortunatly i didnt get far last time, and i ended up giving up. Since im on holidays now, i thought id have a second go.

I have installed knoppmyth and followed the setup, and i have installed the XBMC scripts. The problem im having is that when i run the connection test using the myth-xbmc scripts i recieve an error saying: "Failed to connect to MYSQL database. conn"

I have searched everywhere for solutions to this problem and i have found none. I have editing the mysql.txt & "my" scripts and commented out "skip networking" and so on. It seems like im so close to getting this thing going...but i havent been able to fix this problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

What version on knoppmyth is your backend?

There is an issue in R5A26 with backend database and a MYSQL change that needs to be made.

Check out this thread, my post from 12/08/05 details what I did to get it to work.

I would have never looked for something like that. Lucky some people know what their doing around here

Thanks once again. Someone should put that fix in the WIKI where its easier for people to access.
