Re: [SLUG] mythTV mySQL woes
Hi Jake, mysql -u mythconverg -p -h localhost but mythconverg is the database not the user? I've probably changed mine to something totally random, use the details from /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt although you do raise a good point do something like mysql -u someusername -p -h localhost mythconverg that should also make sure your logging into the right db and have access to it. then think about trying it again with 127.0.0.1 and your machines public ip address. (going from memory the mysql client will use a socket on localhost and tcp/ip on 127) what do you mean by changed the permissions on mysql? I use the webmin module to change the settings for MYSQL. I told it allow user mythtv to connect from any port That should have fixed up that @'localhost' Vs @'%' thing take a look in the mysql.user table to check (ie select * from mysql.user;) you will also need to edit /etc/mysql/my.conf and change "bind address" to "0.0.0.0" or to the ip address of your network got me: /usr/bin/mysql: unknown variable 'bindaddress=0.0.0.0' this is the line from my my.cnf bind-address= 0.0.0.0 what do you mean by change the user? I did notice that sometimes for some weird reason when I typed int the network IP of my server 192 it came up as 'myth' '@' ' ' in the log window, which I thought was weird. probably some sort of reverse dns lookup weirdness, wouldnt worry about it too much Cheers Jon -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
