Description Preston Crow 2004-09-14 08:26:28 UTC

If you install mythfrontend-0.16 (I haven't check older versions), it doens't install mythsetup.  Unfortunately, it seems that you need mythsetup in order to tell the frontend the IP address of the backend.

Comment 1 Preston Crow 2004-09-14 10:23:28 UTC

In discussions on the mailing list, it turns out that I was trying to configure the frontend incorrectly.  The right way of doing it is to modify /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt to point to the mysql server on the master backend system.  All frontends use the same database, and the relevant IP address is configured on a system with a backend (and hence, the mythsetup program).

I changed the status to INVALID because this is NOT A BUG.
