can not connect to database

[GoogleCodeExporter]

At the initial settings screen, after entering settings and clicking on "Test" 
it reports no connection with database.  Verified inputed data by adding a 
video source as "myth://username:password@i.p.address" and I can view the 
"guide" so the username and password are correct.  Confirmed port per txt file 
on myth backend.

Installed per your Readme installation but stuck at step #3.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
XBMC - 10.0 Dharma (live cd installed to disk)
Mythbuntu 10.04 LTS (backend)

Thanks for any feedback.  Regards.

Solved -- please disregard.

Assumed just needed to add password and username.  After changing "localhost" 
to point to Mythbuntu backend that solved connection issue to database.  Then 
got error about no local dir "var/lib/mythtv/recordings".  Solved that by 
apt-get nfs client and mkdir a local dir "mythbox". Then changed mythbox script 
to point to this newly made dir. A comment: 1) may consider making local dir 
editable by user in gui vs editing mythbox config file 2) may consider adding 
requirement of nsf (or other option) in notification box when need for ffmpeg 
is displayed 3) may consider changing default of "localhost" on setup gui to 
something indicating the need to point to the myth data base i.e. your 
"change_me" default for the password.  Regards.

All good points and all addressed in the README and FAQ. Maybe adding the 
README to Settings screen will help new users...
