Hello,

I have a copy of MySQL 5 on my PC. After I install TV-Server and try to open the TV-Server Configuration it asks me to enter the hostname, user id, etc. I put in the hostname of my MySql "localhost". It gives me a "Please specify a valid hostname or IP address for the server!" But that is the valid hostname. I have tried everything ... IP, 127.0.0.1, everything. Why doesn't it accept localhost; that is the default hostname for MySql on Windows.

Thanks
Mike
