[QUOTE="Sayajin, post: 1118855, member: 131476"] So I have searched the Wiki and the forum however was unable to find an answer for my setup problem. I assume it is something simple so I wanted to post here to ask. I am updating from an older version of MP with a fresh install of the current version on my Windows 7 HTPC. On my previous install I did not install the TV Client/Server however I decided that I wanted to do so this time around. I did a straightforward one click install however during the install where the "Setup Database Connection" dialog pops up, I am unable to proceed. I currently have MySQL56 installed on my PC and have been using it for years with no issues. As such, the installer did not install MySQL onto my PC. When I follow the directions in the prompt and select My SQL as the database type and then hit the "Test" button at the bottom, I get the error "Connection Failed. Host -(my pc name) is not allowed to connect to this MySQL Server" I have tried the default password of MediaPortal as well as the current MySQL password that I have been using and neither work. I figured maybe I did something wrong at the install so I tried installing a fresh copy again only to have the same error. I can only assume I am doing something wrong as I cant even complete the basic install and setup, let alone use the TV Server. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I have included the installation log for reference and there was no data in any of the other TV Server Logs. Thanks. -Sayajin [/QUOTE]
