Whenever I start Myth frontend I get an error messaqe saying "Could not connect to master backend. Mythcontext. Could not connect to the master backend server. Is it running?"
[http://ubuntuforums]
It doesn't appear as if the backend is running. When I run sudo service mythtv-backend start I can't see the process running in top.
If I run mythfilldatabase I get the following output:

Can anyone help me to get the backend working?
Many thanks

Re:
Are the frontend and backend on the same machine? Try chaning your frontend setting IP to the IP of the backend machine, even if there on the same machine. It probably doesn't like that 127.0.0.1 is in there.
