MythTV cannot connect to database

[pgarrity18]

It looks like
I had it working, I just needed to change the ip address from 192.168.1.6 to localhost and it seems to be ok.

Front end seems to work so I guess this issue can be closed out from my end anyway. Not sure if the OP figured out his issue.

Thanks a lot for the help!

I should mention that I am now in the process of building the macport

Wait, what!?! For the sake of others--DON'T DO THIST!! Mixing the installer and building your own software with MacPorts is NOT a supported configuration. See http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MacPorts#Download_or_build

What made you think this would help?

but here is what I get...

Code: Select all

This proves that your database was properly initialized but that doesn't matter anymore.

Hopefully your installation won't blow up when you update Myth, and/or its dependencies, in the future.

Ditto on this problem. I just posted my own plea for help. Seems like Myth is pretty hard to get setup.

Mysql defaults to not listening on external (non-loopback) IP addresses. Check my.cnf for the skip-networking option, if it's there remove or comment it.

Also check /opt/local/etc/mysql55/macports-default.cnf for the same option.
