[mythtvnz] Mythfrontend fails to connect to database

[Paulgir]

Can I just say to everyone while we are vaguely on the subject, I make it  
a policy when setting up mythtv to NEVER set things up to work through  
localhost. It is tempting to do so, but the moment you want to add an  
external frontend (and you will want to one day) you'll have a world of  
pain.

Pick an IP address and hostname for the backend that you can live with,  
fix it and never change it. If you get a new backend, call it by the same  
hostname as the old one and give it the same IP address.

End of rant.




It seems I wrote too soon.
As with all intermittent problems,they do have the opportunity to mess  
with you and this is no exception.Yesterday after making Stephen's  
suggested changes the system started correctly over several reboots,then  
last night it reverted to the fault behaviour.
Next I'll try Nick's suggestion of introducing a delay in the mysql  
startup script.

Am I correct that the script to add the delay to would be mysql.conf?
