Did you catch my post from a few days ago about running with MySQL on
Windows?

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.

No doubt because that's the default in 7.6.  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
  
--------------------

I don't know the explanation for that unless you had an old SQLite
database in the cache folder that you copied.  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.
