<p class=MsoNormal>I have a single machine setup and yet I have managed to
cause connection problems. Today I decided to change my hostname from
default (localhost.localdomain) to the hostname I’m used to my file
server being. This way I can map network shares from windows computers
using hostname instead of ip address, which keeps changing. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Upon changing my hostname, mythtv broke. I thought it
would be an easy fix of changing ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt to reflect the new
hostname. After tinkering with both root’s and the user ‘myth’
who autologons and autoruns the frontend, it still does not work. I have
tried playing with granting privileges on mysql after reading other peoples
problems, but im not sure if this is actually the problem, but if it is I don’t
know enough about mysql commands to figure it out. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Mythtvsetup runs but does not seem to reflect my previous
settings, suggesting it does not connect to the DB. It does seem to have
connected though, so hopefully that doesn’t mean it trashed the contents
of the DB.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Essentially, I have a crippled system and after a few hours
of attempts I can’t really be sure what values various settings had
earlier and how to get things working again. As a last resort I could delete
the database and reset the whole thing, but I really want to preserve it.
Any suggestions?<o:p></o:p></p>
