Mythtv OSX Remote Frontend Hangs (won't connnect svn 14150)

[anonymous]

Using svn 14150 or anything near it Trying to connnect to linux backend at 192.168.1.106 If the backend is up and settings appear to be correct the frontend never comes up. If I shut the backend down the frontend will come up, but obviously w/o a connectiong..

TCP Dump When Launching front end.. tcpdump: listening on en0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes 16:52:15.259906 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 35623, offset 0, flags [DF], proto: TCP (6), length: 64, bad cksum 0 (->2b69)!) 192.168.1.109.53787 > 192.168.1.106.lds-distrib: S, cksum 0x845a (incorrect (-> 0x671c), 471959475:471959475(0) win 65535 <mss 1460,nop,wscale 0,nop,nop,timestamp 910460410 0,sackOK,eol> 16:52:15.260163 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 0, offset 0, flags [DF], proto: TCP (6), length: 60) 192.168.1.106.lds-distrib > 192.168.1.109.53787: S, cksum 0xaf26 (correct), 3517135507:3517135507(0) ack 471959476 win 5792 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 246912852 910460410,nop,wscale 7> 16:52:15.260216 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 35624, offset 0, flags [DF], proto: TCP (6), length: 52, bad cksum 0 (->2b74)!) 192.168.1.109.53787 > 192.168.1.106.lds-distrib: ., cksum 0x844e (incorrect (-> 0xf492), ack 1 win 65535 <nop,nop,timestamp 910460410 246912852>

after which the frontend just sits there (shows not responding in the force quit menu)

if I run the frontend from a shell and use ctrl-c to end it after it hangs.. I get this additional tcpdump

the output from the front end when I run from the shell is.. the first and last lines represent the shell commmand to start, and the shell prompt after ctrl-c to kill it

terminal$ /Applications/MythFrontend?.app/Contents/MacOS/MythFrontend -v all 2007-08-06 16:52:15.232 Using runtime prefix = /Applications/MythFrontend?.app/Contents/Resources 2007-08-06 16:52:15.241 New DB connection, total: 1 ^{C terminal$}

using same setup and db,etc I can connect using the downgrade server to 20fixes and use 20fix osx frontend and it instantly connects.. (I am however unable to play video files as it says they cant be found, but I am assuming this is a db difference or soemthing between the versions..)

anyhow...

p.s. with the same settings running a 20fixes backend build, and using a 20fixes OSX frontend, everythings works...

here's the answer.. Apparently the problem is that the frontend is not finding the mysql server..

DBPort was incorrectly set to 6543 (I haven't seen any docs refer to setting this to mysql server port, my assumption was that DB was talking about the backend)

Apparently the design is to find the mysql database, and from there find the backend

20fixes would still find mysql server even though the DBPort was set incorrectly to the backend port.

svn will not find the mysql server, and will hang w/o error message.

Outside of the possibility of putting an error message when the mysql server cant be found, this can be closed..
