Greetings all.
I have mythtv installed and running on my Ubuntu Server machine, configured with the master backend to be at the server's external IP address. On initial install, I indicated that I wanted to allow remote connections. I'm looking to have multiple frontends running to this one backend, along with a frontend on the server. I can not get connections from remote frontends. Here is what I get from errors on the remote machine (this occurs as soon as I select my country, followed by a crash):

Re: Remote frontend setup
I think your problem is most likely either:
- MySQL is running on the backend without external networking enabled ("skip-networking" is set in /etc/my.cnf)
- or the frontend isn't allowed to access port 3306 (MySQL) due to a firewall rule
- MySQL is running on the backend without external networking enabled ("skip-networking" is set in /etc/my.cnf)
- or the frontend isn't allowed to access port 3306 (MySQL) due to a firewall rule

Hi,
Also check /etc/mysql/conf.d/mythtv.cnf, I thought the Mythbuntu package
created it when you answered the "remote connections" question.
You should see: bind-address=0.0.0.0 (or bind-address=:: if you
want to access the DB using IPv6 too.)
(-v general is the default and is a good start
for most issues and prevents a lot of noise.)

Thanks! I had to remove the comment tag ahead of the bind-addressbill6502 wrote:Hi,
