[SOLVED] mythbackend daemon failing to start

Hi, I have recently installed Arch and am trying to setup my system with applications and configurations that are useful from me and my family.

Over the weekend I installed MythTV, and managed to get is configured and running.  Things were going along fine, through several reboots, and then yesterday the mythbackend daemon failed to start.  I can start it no problem from the command line, and myth works fine. However, the daemon fails.

I have consulted the wiki, searched the forum reviewed the logs (to the extent I understand them) and have hit a wall.

Are there folks out there that have any suggestions that I might try?

Thanks,

Jeff

Re: [SOLVED] mythbackend daemon failing to start

The solution was as follows:

/etc/rc.d/mythbackend had the

MBE_USER='root'

there was a /root/.mythtv folder

however the MBE_USER listed in /etc/conf.d/mythbackend was listed as

MBE_USER='mythtv'

once that was changed to root, it was all good again.
