OK, we'll worry about that later. You need to make sure your backend is setting up your database properly. You did run mythtv-setup, right? > [EMAIL PROTECTED] don]$ ps auxww | grep mysqld > root 3028 0.0 0.2 2016 1056 ?

Agreed. run mysqlshow -umythtv -pmythtv you should see +-------------+ | Databases | +-------------+ | mythconverg | | test | +-------------+ the mythconverg part is the important one. Is your mythbackend process running / has ever run? ie, ps auxww | grep [m]ythbackend shows something like root 13918 0.0 6.7 167660 17212 ? Sl Mar23 0:01 /usr/bin/mythbackend --logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log and /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log exists and has info in it If not, I'd really recommend the path of least resistance and download the KnoppMyth (http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html) iso. Burn, boot and install. This will wipe out the machine though. Graham
