I don't have mysql running on the non-master, so there's no mysql.sock to connect to. I can run the frontend on the machine ok. Edit your mysql.txt file (or whatever that filename is, I'm not at my machine right now) to point to the right database Kevin Thanks for the pointer. I double checked that entry in both the mythtv (user for frontend) and made sure it was the same for the root entry. Do I need to nfs mount the location where the master backend mysql.sock is? That doesn't seem right, as the frontend runs perfectly fine on this box. Paul ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

PAUL WILLIAMSON wrote: Hi all, Back again with a question. I have a master backend with two pvr-250s, which doubles as a workroom frontend. All is working on that. I've got 3 frontend only machines that work fine with every feature. I also have two mediamvp's running mvpmc. They work great too. Using .18.1 from atrpms. I went to add a non-master backend/frontend and followed this: http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-9.html#nonmaster_backend I must have done something close to right, because mythweb can see it (sort of). Clicking on Backend Status I get: Encoder status: Encoder 1 is local on mythtvmbe and is not recording. Encoder 2 is local on mythtvmbe and is not recording. Encoder 3 is remote on mythtvbe1 (currently not connected). mythtvbe1 is the machine where I'm trying to get the non-master running.

I can run the frontend on this new machine ok, I just can't get the backend started.
