I think I might have discovered one reason why mythbackend was screwing up. I rebooted my machine and tried mythbackend again after rebooting: camille ~ # mythbackend 2006-10-05 14:36:41.431 Using runtime prefix = /usr 2006-10-05 14:36:41.573 New DB connection, total: 1 2006-10-05 14:36:41.574 Unable to connect to database! 2006-10-05 14:36:41.574 Driver error was [1/2002]: QMYSQL3: Unable to connect Database error was: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) QSqlQuery::exec: database not open QSqlQuery::exec: database not open 2006-10-05 14:36:41.633 DB Error (KickDatabase): Query was: SELECT NULL; No error type from QSqlError?
