Well I'm still stymied. Don't know what's wrong. Got a BSOD three times now when I went to Media Portal Config.

Got later messages (after the reboot) about debugging PCProbe so I uninstalled that but it didn't help.

So then I tried the Media Portal TV Server hoping for better luck. It led me to the DB screen again.

On that screen I chose MySql but it tells me access is denied 'for user 'root' @ 'asus' (using password: YES)'

The password is right I reckon because I log in to phpmyadmin with it and it is the password in my scripts - and anyway the message seems to indicate it has no problem with the password - just access is denied - isn't that right? And the user is right. And the name. And I tried it with the local IP: 192.168.1.101 of my machine.

It wouldn't accept 'localhost', which is what is written in the php scripts I use. I don't know why. That seems suspect to me. Asks for 'a valid hostname or IP address for the server'. 'Localhost' is written all over phpmyadmin. Kind of the title of the page.

Seems to be an access problem to me.

How to allow access? I'm afraid I don't know. I see nowhere to list progs to which I allow access. Never done that before.
