You don't say which part of the MythDora installation refuses to
connect, the backend or the frontend. Both of them need to connect to
work properly.
Is MySQL running? Does it show up in the output of ps?
By default, MySQL will only bind to the localhost. In order to get it to
work on the network, you may need to make a change to the /etc/my.cnf
file. Make sure it does NOT contain a line stating "skip-networking".
You actually don't need this (yet) because you have the client and
server on the same machine and you should be using just localhost. See
<http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-6.html> for more info.
Once you are sure MySQL is running, have you initialized it properly by
creating the mythconverg database? See the HOWTO for more info. This
should have been taken care by the installation scripts in MythDora.
Once you have that done, you need to run the myth-setup program to do
your backend setup, then run mythfrontend to configure the frontend.
Disregard all this. I didn't read Lan's message from the top. I went
straight to the output from dmesg and saw nothing relevant.
What do the MySQL logs (/var/log/mysqld.log) show you? Any problems with
connections? Maybe you have a permissions problem.
