Hello,

I am trying to configure a frontend machine to connect to a backend server.

The client machine is a ubuntu dapper drake with frontend compile from
mythtv-0.20-fixes: revision 13203.
Here is the configure line I passed :
./configure --disable-dvb --disable-xvmc --disable-firewire
--disable-freebox --disable-dbox2 --disable-hdhomerun --disable-crciprec
--disable-ivtv --disable-joystick-menu --disable-v4l

The backend server is a ubuntu edgy eft with backend compile from
mythtv-0.20-fixes: revision 13110.

I have disable firewalls on both sides.
I am able to connect to mysql database from the client : mysql -h mythtvbox
-u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg

Here is my ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt:
------------------------------------
DBHostName=mythtvbox
DBUserName=mythtv
DBPassword=mythtv
DBName=mythconverg
DBType=QMYSQL3
-------------------------------------

When running mythfrontend from the client I am retrieving the following
error :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2007-04-09 17:26:16.995 Using runtime prefix = /usr/local
2007-04-09 17:26:17.018 DPMS is disabled.

2007-04-09 17:26:17.089 DB Error (KickDatabase):
Query was:
SELECT NULL;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I appreciate some help.

Regards.
