That's where MySQL lives, in the OS, not the application layer. Full, step-by-step details and troubleshooting information can be found here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/installing.html How you connect a MythTV application (or subcomponent or whatever it's composed of) to MySQL is entirely dependent on how it's been written. You will have to refer to the documentation specific to your application to know how to use MySQL as a data backend. If you are building something from scratch, you have many choices. Many details can be found here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/apis.html You can also research the web, the lists archives, the forum archives, and any other documentation you can find in your quest for knowledge. If there are any specific issues we can help you figure out we (the list members) will be happy to help. Please be sure to include all relevant information with any new post. Best wishes!
