<pre wrap=""><!---->OK, I just did the 2 commands above and verified that
/var/lib/mysql/mysql exits. Before I take the next step (and hose
something up AGAIN), I want to be sure I have the correct initialization
procedure for mythconverg. I was going to use the one found here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/User_Manual:Initial_Installation">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/User_Manual:Initial_Installation</a>.
Is this right? Are there any portions of that that I don't need to do?
Lastly, once this is back to normal, I can put the user back to mythtv
in the first setup screen, correct?
Thanks again for everything! Very much appreciated!
Harry

The only thing you need to do is recreate the mythconverg database:<br>
<br>
mysql -u root -p < /usr/share/mythtv/database/mc.sql<br>
<br>
Now that you know the "root" user password for MySQL, this command
should work. And yes, put the user back to "mythtv" once you do this.
Also, I know we're past this at this point, but I looked back on the
thread and you seemed to have been able to connect via root. You said
that:<br>
<br>
1) mythtv-setup worked as "root"<br>
2) You were able to "drop database mythconverg;"<br>
<br>
At this point it doesn't matter, but there definitely has been a
disconnect here.<br>
