and are you allowing your mysql server connections from IP other then the 
loopback 127.0.0.1? This is a very common problem where people don't realize 
that mythtv installs and mysql server does NOT normally allow connection from 
other ip's. If you're not familiar with mysql commands I would suggest 
installing phpmyadmin which give you a GUI within a web broswer to change 
privelges to the mythconverg database. Google is your friend here. I doubt this 
mysql connection issue has anything to do with mythbox. Just my 2 cents.

I am alson having this problem.  I have a jailbroken atv running 5.0.2 in XBMC 
eden v11.0, with mythbox 1.1.0.  Seems like every solution involves a terminal 
command, but this is a Atv running XBMC.  there are only 5 items really that 
can be changed.  I entered the same ip as my atv2, i changed the password, 
which seems to make no difference.  As for the database name i left it as 
mythconveg.  its not connected to anything so i dont see why i would change it 
its not linked to a computer..

any thoughts?
