MythWeb Error When Clicking MythVideo Icon

I get this error when I click on the MythVideo icon in MythWeb.

Error

Could not create a symlink to /storage/mythvideo, the local MythVideo
directory for this hostname (mythbackend). Please create a symlink to your
MythVideo directory at data/video in order to use the video portions of
MythWeb.


In /var/lib/mythtv/ I have a sym link called 'videos' and it points to
/storage/mythvideo. I don't know where else to look. Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks!

It looks like you should have a symlink in data/video to /storage/
mythvideo like the error message tells you to do.

I found this location under the mythweb apache2 directory. I have fixed the
2 symlinks that were in error. Thanks.
