[SoulNothing 0]

i finally got mythtv installed and now it wont boot im new to this area and am not sure what the issue is

 

this is what i get

[root@RAZORSkyline root]# mythtv

Unable to connect to database!

Driver error was [1/2002]:

QMYSQL3: Unable to connect

Database error was:

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

 

couldn't open db

 

allright im assuming through this i have to set up MYSQL but am unsure as of how to do that

lucky for you mythtv has some great docs. I did this about a year ago as test then never did anything wiht it. I'm looking to start up the project again soon I remember the HOWTO docs were very helpfull.
