TV Server/My SQL problem (1 Viewer)

[glenb83]

Hi, I recently did a guided install of MediaPortal 1.0.2 on Windows 7 RC, but when I try to open TVServer configuration, I can not get access to the MySQL database. I put the password as 'MediaPortal' (without punctuation of course) and I get the following error -

"Connection failed!
Access denied for user 'root'@192.168.1.69' (using password: YES)"

Has anyone got any odea why this is happening? I would really like to be able to setup tv server and start using media portal. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Glen

SQL 2005 does not work with windows 7, you need to use SQL express 2008, so you need to manually download and configure it to use mixed mode authentication (sa + MediaPortal), and enable these connections in sql server management configuration.
