[mythtv-users] Can't get Frontend .app to run on my powerbook

[Noel Murphy]

Hey all,

I have a good working myth installation (0.17) on a desktop machine, 
but now I was thinking I'd try and get the frontend working on my 
PowerBook G4. The main reason for this is because I'd like to do some 
video editing (setting the cut points) from my couch using a real 
keyboard as opposed to trying to do it all with a remote control.

So I downloaded the MythFrontend.app (version 0.17 + plug-ins) but when 
I double click the app, I get a blue squares screen and then it closes. 
In the console I get the following:

2005-03-30 12:22:21.711 Using runtime prefix = 
/Applications/MythFrontend.app/Contents/Resources
2005-03-30 12:22:23.237 Unable to connect to database!
2005-03-30 12:22:23.237 Driver error was [1/1045]:
QMYSQL3: Unable to connect
Database error was:
Access denied for user: 'mythtv at localhost' (Using password: YES)

couldn't open db
2005-03-30 12:22:23.302 Switching to square mode (blue)


So, based on the above errors, does the frontend have a database of its 
own? If so, does this mean it can't create it ? OR is the database on 
the backend what is used, and I need to somehow configure the frontend 
to point to the backends ip? If this is the case, where is the file I 
need to modify to fix this?

I am running Mac OS X - 10.3.8
