You might check your ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt file. If the first line says:
DBHostName=localhost
then your local mysql client is trying to talk to the *local* mysqld
server... which does not have a mythconverg database....
Been there, done that...rum, neat over ice, does dull the pain of
banging you head against the wall when you realize your error. I *think*
this might be mentioned in the docs....
OH...run 'service mysqld stop', *before* launching mythfrontend..you
will see a different error.
