MythTV backend with MySQL, EyeConnect or...
I want to try MythTV and to do that I need to install a UPnP server. The literature recommends MySQL. I downloaded the 32 bit version (for use with an Intel iMac) and installed it. So far so good. To get it working with MythTV the instructions are:
1. cd /usr/local/mysql/bin/
2. shell> ./mysql -uroot
This is as far as I get. The response to step 2 is 'Permission Denied'. I then found a posting that said I need to first do: chmod u+rwx ./mysql. I did that, but no luck. As you can tell I have no idea what I am doing. My ultimate goal is to install the MythTV backend. It doesn't matter to me if the UPnP server is MySQL or something else as long as there are instructions for marrying the two. I have EyeConnect running on the computer, but MythTV says it can't log into it. I've seen Linux distributions of MythTV that automatically installed MySQL and MythTV, but haven't found anything like that for the Mac.
