the only one that existed was my ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt and it was right, which is why it can now connect to mysql. but not the back end. it still tries to connect to backend on localhost. i tried deleting hte mysql.txt file and that works at getting me back to a point where i can resetup the mysql server info, but that doesn't help with the backend ip. it is like the frontend isn't respecting the data in mysql. although it does change my theme to the master settings.
