[mythtv-users] mac osx frontend and mysql

[Todd Houle]

Run mythtv-setup on the server.  There's two places under General  
that you need to put in the IP address of your backend.  Make sure  
you are using a real IP address (on your internal network I assume)  
and not a local loopback address of localhost or 127.0.0.1.  I don't  
know Knoppmyth either, but I assume you can get into setup via  
command line somehow....
