It looks like it cannot connect to your database. The database settings should be in the mythweb.conf file. Perhaps there have been lost or reverted to incorrect default values.

From mythweb.conf

       # This is unneeded due to the upnp setup via the backend
        #
        setenv db_server        "localhost"
        setenv db_name          "mythconverg"
        setenv db_login         "mythtv"
        setenv db_password      "correct password"

From 0.28 client successfully connected to database:

Hostname: 192.168.0.55

Port: 3306

Database name: mythconverg

User: mythtv

Password: correct password

Looks to be correct..?

In MySQL/MariaDB, there's a difference between localhost and 192.168.0.55 hostnames when permissions are granted. You almost definitely need to fix your MySQL server permissions/grants. Please ask for help on the mythtv-users list and/or try using db_server "192.168.0.55".

Let us know if this has solved the problem.

This is not a database connection issue. I just reproduced this error on a botched upgrade and fixed it.

My problem was that my version of mythweb files in /usr/share/mythtv/bindings/php were not compatible with the current version of myth I was running.

I fixed the above error by editing the MythBackend?.php in the above folder and simply assigning my host and port variables.

But then further errors occured which pointed me to a version problem (error with MYTH_PROTO VERSION).

I then simply downloaded the proper version of mythtv tar file from the repo and replaced my bindings/php folder with that in the tar and it worked fine.

I hope this helps others that find this in a google search.
