[mythtvnz] New Backend / Existing Frontends

[Tortise]

Replying to all posters, (thank you)

I replaced the FE/BE box HDD with a new 1.5TB, so only thing new is the HDD and software.  Rest is known working hardware.

Running MCC from a FE shows the mySQL connection is failing to connect.

Running
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-common   (Replaced localhost with FE/BE IP)did not help.I'd earlier overwritten localhost in the 
General setup and that IP remained correct.running this gives:~$ sudo iptables -L[sudo] password for user:Chain INPUT (policy 
ACCEPT)target     prot opt source               destinationChain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)target     prot opt source 
destinationChain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)target     prot opt source               destinationI presume this means its running in a 
default config, I've never changed the mythbuntu settings for this and there is remote access to the machine, e.g. mythweb ssh and 
VNC.

I've decided to just run the install up again as I think what I might have done worng was not check the allow other users to connect 
box when it asked me during the faulty install and it seems hard to fix that now.  I think the fix might lie in the MySQL however 
that's not a good place for me to muck around.

I do find the users a little confusing, as it seems, by default, there are two users, "mythtv" and your nominated logon say 
"mylogon".   Remote FE seem to want to connect as mythtv however it seems one run the FE/BE as "mylogon"  It seems using 
tv_grab_nz-py that one needs to configure both /home/mythtv/.mythtv and also /home/mylogon/.mythtv to get universal access.   Can 
anyone clarify this further?  Would using "mythtv" as the logon be better?  Perhaps there are good reasons not to do this?
