 Priority:  minor                |   Milestone:  0.21      
Component:  mythweather          |     Version:  0.21-fixes
 Severity:  medium               |     Mlocked:  0         
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 I recently upgraded my friend's system to the 0.21-fixes (16181) branch
 from an older svn revision.  After confirming the myth schema upgrades
 were complete, I started the backend and launched mythweb.  Mythweb
 errored out with a bunch of messages of 'missing weatherscreens' table.

 Upon further investigation, it appeared that mysql had the tables in it's
 catelog, but selecting from them returned 'table weatherscreens' does not
 exist.  Additionally, mysqlrepair showed them in the catelog but with
 errors that the table didn't exist.[[BR]][[BR]]

 After several tries at removing the phantom tables, I succeeded by moving
 the flat files out of the mysql directory that represented the tables.
 Then I removed the settings entry for mythweather in the hopes that myth
 would see the tables missing and re-create them the right way.  Myth did
 re-create the tables, however they were still phantom
 (unusable).[[BR]][[BR]]

 Looking at the table creation code in mythweather/dbcheck.cpp I saw it
 made a hardcoded reference to TYPE=InnoDB .  Once I removed this
 reference, the tables were created and usable.[[BR]]My mysql server is not
 configured to use InnoDB.
