[mythtv-users] Almost there

[Alan Secker]

After following up what you had said, I realised that I had missed 
installing the script
in ~/contrib and the other steps to ensure that mythbackend starts up at 
boot time.
It is now running and although the setup screen now finds the database, 
I still
get the pop-up box with the 'Could not connect - see below'. The other 
problems
per my original post still persist, except I seem now able to close 
Mythtv without
rebooting but certainly not elegantly.

Can someone suggest some further tests?

How do you know it didn't start? In other words, tell us what you saw. 
Did you look at the log ( try: 'tail /var/log/mythtv/mythtvbackend.log' 
)? Are you trying to start it as the root user (try: 'sudo 
/etc/init.d/mythbackend start')?
