when I test the MySQL server database connection I get an error stating unable to connect to local host. How do I resolve this on my DSL router?

I found the fix! I needed to add the 3306 port to my DSL router by adding it in port forwarding.

MP1 MP2 Remote client can't access TVserver. Database issue DE

Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...

MP1 MP2 Cannot complete TV Server install: error in database location DE

To be fair the normal uninstall is usually more than sufficient. I regularly uninstall and reinstall MP 1 as part of the testing process and only very rarely have I needed to use the manual procedure posted by @CyberSimian to overcome the error you ran into. I also believe there is a procedure to repair the MySQL install in the event...
