I have downloaded the backend and front end of mythtv for 14.04 but when I open up the backend to configure I get a screen to select country then on the next page I get: MythTV could not connect to the database. Please verify your database settings below. Required fields are marked with and asterisk (*).

*Hostname: localhost
[/]Ping test server? Port:3306
Database name: mythconverg
User: mythtv
Password: mythtv

All of that was already filled out, I haven't changed anything. The only answer I have found to this issue is for mythbuntu located here.

The answer was to reinstall MySQL and enter "mythtv" as the password there as well. All other posts showed to leave the password blank in MySQL but that did not work. Here is the resource page I used to fix the problem.
