Hello Team,
OK I've uninstalled and reinstalled most apps and all work pretty well. However one that doesn't is MythTV.

Myth-web will not connect only a blank page occurs.

[root@Vitruvian ~]# service mythbackend restart

Stopping mythbackend: [FAILED]
Starting mythbackend: [ OK ]

After mythfilldatabase is run the following is at the very end. Not sure of the consequences of this but this has never been stated by mythtv at the end of mythfilldatabase has completed on my F9 box.

You probably should modify the Master Server
settings in the setup program and set the
proper IP address.

Carlos, we may need to revisit mythtv on f11 and update the application.


Cheers!

This setup seems to be the common fix for F11

* at line 21 posix_uname has to be changed to php_uname in file /var/hda/web-apps/mythtv/html/includes/defines.php
* http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/m ... its/374157

In Mythsetup

* On page 3 (Miscellaneous Settings) of option 1 ensure 'Master Backend Override' is enabled (toggled)
