Error Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

[frankO]

Hi,
I am trying to run mdd.pl on my backend.

sudo perl mdd.pl --backend

DBI
connect('database=mythconverg:host=localhost;port=3306','mythtv',...)
failed: Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password:
YES) at /usr/share/perl5/MythTV.pm line 345
Cannot connect to database:

I presume I get this error because the password is wrong.
Where does the script pickup the password.?

Or is it some other problem.

Thanks
Frank

The MythTV perl bindings are responsible for managing connections to
the database.

They will use the settings cached in $HOME/.mythtv/config.xml if
present and attempt to retrieve them via UPnP if not.

Suggest checking the username and password in $HOME/.mythtv/config.xml
- especially if your db password has recently changed.
