I have tried (from
http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2009-November/272633.html)

"Best approach, though, do a new install and give the host the /exact/
same name as before. Then shut down all frontends and backends and do a
full restore, then run mythtv-setup to upgrade the database."


But when I run mythtv-setup it says it cannot connect to the database

Problem of connecting to database is solved: The database password was
wrong and mysql was binding to localhost only.

This works but watch out for the mysql settings being wrong (check the
bind-address in /etc/mysql/my.cf) and the password to the database.
