If I don't run mythbackend as root from a console (manually).. it blows up (see below) I only created the symlink 'cause someone suggested it might work.. thought I'd try it. It didn't. .. and I'm really glad I'm not running windows.. ;-) > do you have mythbackend file in /etc/init.d? > what is the file's settings? is it executable? if not then chmod +x > mythbackend will help.
