I believe the front-end just connects across the net to the mysql installation on the backend. You don't need mysql installed when you're using the Mac front-end.
I've done a little poking around and have been unable to find either the prefs or any kind of output log from the front-end. I haven't yet tried looking at the console or system logs when the front-end is started up to see if anything useful is in there. I'm running the CVS binary from here: http://whpress.com/mythtv/ I haven't tried the Tiger 18.1 client from goof.com yet. Anybody know where the output and prefs are stored with these pre-build clients? -Pete Paul McKellar wrote: > i tried that. right after setup the thing disappears, no error, no > warning. is there a log file somewhere for the frontend? > > i can ping the backend consistantly. > > would i need to install mysql on my mac if i download the prebuild > binary? i have it isntalled but the bin isn't in a public place? > maybe because it can't get to the database it drops? > > i've never run a .app folder from terminal to see error messages, is > that even possible? > > Paul > > On 8/4/05, Peter Loron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>You'll need to have the backend set up with a consistent IP address >>(either static or permanently assigned via DHCP).
