This pretty much tells you - it's trying to connect to 127.0.0.1 (i.e.
the frontend machine). Go to setup->general in the frontend and change
the server address if it's incorrect.

Also make sure that in the mythsetup program, general page you've got
the master server address set correctly (so the mythtv backend binds
to the LAN address).
