When you say unable to connect to the database, is the actual message unable
to connect the master backend database?

If it is run mythfilldatabase on you backend, check what IP address it's
connecting to.

i.e.
===============================================================
| Attempting to contact the master backend for rescheduling.  |
| If the master is not running, rescheduling will happen when |
| the master backend is restarted.                            |
===============================================================
2010-02-10 20:23:11.029 MythContext: Connecting to backend server:
10.1.1.3:6543 (try 1 of 1)
2010-02-10 20:23:11.030 Using protocol version 50
2010-02-10 20:23:11.037 mythfilldatabase run complete.
2010-02-10 20:23:11.038 DataDirect: Deleting temporary files

If it's using 127.0.0.1 or localhost then that's most likely your problem,
run mythtv-setup on the backend,and set the master backend ip to the correct
IP address for the backend.
