<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've looked through the archives for answers to
this, but haven't found anything that nails what I need help with.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My mobo on my myth box died last week and as a
result, I obviously didn't get a chance to export the Mythconverge DB so that I
could import it onto new HW. I have a new setup now (completely different HW, so
I needed to reinstall FC5 from scratch), but I would like to keep all the
history from my old Mythconverge DB (from version .19.1). The HDD on my old
machine survived (haven't tested yet to be sure), so I can pull the DB files
from my dead machine onto my new machine. But I'm not sure exactly how to do
this. Also, since version .20 just came out, I want to make sure I avoid
overwriting my .19.1 version of the DB. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm using Jarod's guide, running FC5. I'm a linux
novice, but have managed to install and run mythtv for the last 3+ years,
so I can stumble my way through most things.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So here are my two questions:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. What's the best way to move the version .19 DB
over? Can I just copy the data files for mythconverge on my dead box over
to my new MySQL install and restart MySQL? Or will that not provide the users
and permissions that I need (I've heard these may be stored in the default MySQL
DB that gets created upon MySQL install)? Any other (better)
suggestions?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. How should I ensure that installing mythtv-suite
via yum won't overwrite my existing .19 DB? Should I go through the install from
scratch, and *then* copy over the version .19 DB files, and *then* do an update
install of mythtv-suite?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for any help,</FONT></DIV>
