[mythtv-users] Mythbackend started as process looks for database at wrong location

[John Nissley]

I have a mythtv setup with two fe/be and two other fe only boxes.

I have a need to move the master backend from one backend server to the 
other but am having some problems doing so.

I have moved the database to the new server and shut down mysql on the 
old Master Backend server.  When I start the new  Master backend with 
"mythbackend &" it finds the new database server location correctly but 
when I try to start it with "service mythbackend start" it is still 
looking at the old database server location.  The logs tell me it is 
looking at /root/.mythtv for the config files and I have delete, copied, 
added the files to that location with the correct parameters multiple 
times but I still have the same result.  I have even run mythtv-setup as 
the mythtv and root user from the new Master Backend server but that 
still does not fix the problem.

I am using the init.d file from this location 
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Fedora_init.d_mythbackend
I have been using this file for many months without problem until I 
tried to move my Master Backend.

Would you like to configure the database connection now? [no]
[console is not interactive, using default 'no']

2010-06-13 09:57:10.905 Failed to init MythContext.

Keep in mind that config.xml and mysql.txt have both been changed to 
have the new database location of 192.168.10.7.

Thanks for the assistance.
