[mythtv-users] mythbackend not starting on slave (I know...)

[Steve Malenfant]

I couldn't find the answer anywhere...  "service mythbackend start"
don't work on my salve... It's not an IP configuration issue... 
mythfrontend works as root and mythtv user on the slave.  Also when I
execute manually everything works fine.

So if do "/usr/bin/mythbackend --daemon --logfile
/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log --pidfile /var/run/mythbackend.pid"
the server starts just fine (minus the problem with the channel here):

Running as a slave backend.

And when I use "service mythbackend start" :

QMYSQL3: Unable to connect
Database error was:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

I'm not sure what's the difference but it doesn't work using the
"service" with remote database.

Thakns for help.
