I can't get a frontend to work on Mac OS X. Everything is working

seems to always want to contact localhost, regardless of the settings
in the ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt file.
The local mysql.txt file is only used to tell the front-end client
which database to contact to obtain MythTV configuration settings.
The
address of the back-end service is one of those settings. The default
back-end address when you install MythTV is set to "127.0.0.1". This
means that the client will not be able to connect to the MythTV
back-end process unless it's running on the same machine.
To correct the situation, you can either login to the back-end GUI as
root (#include "standard rant about requiring root to run a GUI.h"),
rerun mythtv-setup and specify the back-end's real IP address, or you
can connect to the database using the mysql CLI and update the
settings
table directly. The SQL command would be:
update settings set data="192.168.1.2" where value="MasterServerIP";
Of course you would supply a valid IP address...
Thanks Chris,
I'm pretty sure that this is set correctly already (with Mysql
accessible from the network, and the MasterServerIP set correctly).

1 row in set (0.01 sec)
So I don't really understand why the frontend doesn't pick that up.
Any other ideas (hope that I understood correctly)?
