Are you sure, your mysql service is running ? Can you connect to the databsae on the command prompt ? Open a shell and type in "mysql -u root mythconverg". After that type in "show tables;" If you see the list of tables, the database seems to be present. If you want to reinstall the database do the following steps : Open a shell and type in "mysql -u root". Then enter "drop database mythconverg;" (This will delete your current mythtv-database). After that exit mysql. Now type in "mysql -u root < /path_to_the_file/mc.sql" (will create a new empty database)
if you need more help, give me more details. Regards Fritz -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Auftrag von Kris Clark Gesendet: Dienstag, 26.

I think that I have corrupted something while following the setup instructions. I have spent hours going off at a tangent into the Mysql manual to try and check if the password is OK. I am slightly wiser now than several days ago but still not smart enough to get this problem resolved. If this was 'w*****s'I would remove and then reinstall the Mysql application to start over. I have not found out how to do this with Fedora. Can anyone suggest what would be the easiest way to solve this problem? -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
