<p>Does the user running mythbackend actually have write permissions on the<br>
/var/log directory and/or the /var/log/mythfilldatabase file? Usually<br>
unprivileged users would need to log to some other location (maybe a<br>
/var/log/mythtv/mythfilldatabase file?).<br>

Mike</p></blockquote><div> </div><div>Mike, how would one configure mythfilldatabase (or the backend) so that it always logs data to /var/log/mythtv? I just checked my mythbackend log file and I noticed that it's trying to create the file in /var/log (which it doesn't have permissions to).</div>
