Did you catch my post from a few days ago about running with MySQL on Windows?
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84614 The "clear & rescan" (external scanner) doesn't work for me, as it always hangs up during the precaching artwork phase. If you try to abort the scan from the web interface then it won't do anything and you'll have to manually kill off the scanner process. Then there's a 'progress' table in the database that you'll need to clear or the server will continue to think that there's an ongoing scan. > My prefs was configured to use my own instance of MySQL.

There's a new option, 'dbtype', that you'll need to add to the server.prefs to make it use MySQL from the start. Note that you can switch to SQLite, but won't be able to switch to MySQL using the web interface if you want to use your own instance of MySQL. So you have to edit server.prefs while the server is stopped. Code: -------------------- dbpassword: slimserver dbsource: dbi:mysql:hostname=127.0.0.1;port=3306;database=slimserver73 dbtype: MySQL dbusername: slimserver -------------------- > Seemed to have my full collection listed immediately at startup, so > maybe it migrated the DB content?

Pretty sure that it does not migrate any data. It might also have been using the dbi string in the prefs file, so showing you your existing MySQL database, but running the scan using SQLite. It's been known to get confused and use both. I would start with an empty cache folder, as there's nothing in there that won't just be recreated. Might be a good idea to also start with an empty MySQL database. -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84775 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
