Just wondering, did you install/build the QT plugin for MySQL?

E.g. on my Mandrake system, I need to install libqt3-mysql-3.3.3-26mdk.i586.rpm <http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Mandrakelinux/official/10.1/i586/media/main/libqt3-mysql-3.3.3-26mdk.i586.rpm> to get that library.

yep i have the share mysql.txt and the ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt
the error

QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL3 driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers:
Unable to connect to database!
No error type from QSqlError?  Strange...
couldn't open db

last time i got that error was when i first set up a frontend only box, and i learned to edit the mysql.txt files.. i edited them and did everything else i could find in the docs.
everything related to mysql is installed. it worked before so i have no idea why it isn't working now

hey, also all the master backend settings check out ( like the ips in ./setup)
also if i hit '#mysql -u mythtv -p mythconverg -h giger' and enter mythtv for the password it works! i can get in.... so where is the problem?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! i have never had a problem like this before, i think mandrake is starting to turn in to windows with mysteris unexplaneable problems......

hey guys,
i have set up a remote frontend a number of times so don't ask me whats wrong :-p...
allright i edited the /usr/local/share/mythtv/mysql.txt like normal and put in the masterbackends hostname ( which worked every other time fine) accept this time i still get the can connect error... so on the other maching i looked for the my.cnf, but can't find it ( figured mandrake install has is hidden) i check all the mysq folder, and the mythconverg folder, no where to be seen. i was going to make on put i don't want it messing up my backend.
anyone know why my fontend dosen't want to connect?


Maybe you could post the actual error message you are getting. Also, do you have a mysql.txt in your ~/.mythtv directory that might be overriding the local/share one?

Kevin
