Although I set a log location in the preferences, I can't seem to find
a <br>
> mythfill log. <br>
</font> <br>
The setting for the mythfilldatabase log requires a file path, not a <br>
directory path (i.e. directory and file information). And the path <br>
structure (all directories) must already be existent and the user <br>
running mythbackend must have write access. (BTW, this is all handled <br>
better and described better in SVN trunk, but it may not have been <br>
ported to -fixes.) <br>
<br>
First step is to get the log, then post more. </font></font></blockquote>

Perhaps I wasn't clear, the log location is set to a file
(/var/log/mythfill.log) and the master backend runs as root so there
shouldn't be any permission issues (I assume the mythfilldatabase
process spawns from the master backend, is this incorrect?).
/var/log/mythfill.log does not exist on either the master or the slave
backend machine, even though the status indicates that mythfilldatabase
is running. <br>
<br>
While looking through the settings database, I noticed that all the
settings for mythfill are for frontend machines (i.e. there are several
entries for each configuration item that have a specific hostname
rather than a NULL), although there were no settings with the hostname
of the machine where I set the new mythfill arguments and path or for
the backend. I had assumed that mythfill was a global backend
configuration but looking at the database for some reason it seems to
be frontend specific. The frontends that did have mythfill
configuration variables in the settings table did appear to have the
new path and arguments, does the settings page just update the
MythFill* values for every frontend? I guess I am just unclear on the
automatic mythfilldatabase process ... if it is a master backend only
process then why do I have frontends (some of which no longer exist)
with specific mythfill configuration variables? Are these normal
entries, orphaned entries or is something wrong with my config?<br>
