[QUOTE="chug, post: 1027331, member: 143933"] Completely new to this, and I have spent a while searching around including reading many guides, but I can't get past the first step on many. I've installed media portal server, and at the end of the install it brought up the "setup database connection", but it just fails, and when I open TV-server configuration I get the same database setup box. I get the impression from the guides I've read that this should just work? Anyway, my settings are. Hostname: Server-PC Dependency: MySQL5 Schema name: MpTvDb User ID: Root Password left as MediaPortal Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers[DOUBLEPOST=1379188505][/DOUBLEPOST]I'm using Zonealarm free firewall, and have trried putting that on pause to no avail. Both the host name and dependancy boxes turn red with the error message. [/QUOTE]
