Mac OS X frontend uses wrong IP addr. for remote backend

[anonymous]

The Mac OS X frontend doesn't work with a remote backend. The problem is that some part of the system is not using the user-supplied IP address for the backend. Here's a transcript of the console output:

2007-07-29 14:12:19.202 New DB connection, total: 1

			proper IP address.

I have set the proper IP address in Setup, as you can see by the successful first connection to the database. Later, however, some component tries to use 127.0.0.1 as the backend address and fails. You can replicate this by trying to watch live TV, which will trigger the failure.

I'm using the 20070728 Intel build of 0.20-fixes found at padilla.net.

I don't know why trac insisted on making me anonymous.

Please disregard this ticket. My backend system was misconfigured. Sorry for the noise.
