migration process has little chance of success. Of course, you can give
a new name, but capture card and input connections will be lost. You
will have to manually rebuild it, but I am not ready for that. So, I
caved in and used same hostname and IP address.
Are there any scripts available that will change host/IP entries in the
database as part of restore? BTW, mythweb also gets confused if IP changes.

As Mike said, use mythconverg_restore.pl with the --change_hostname
option, as described here [1], which is referred to from the
over-arching article [2].

Jim,<br>
<br>
Thanks. I read migration notes on the web, but did not review
db_restore notes again. So, I missed the instructions towards the
end of db_restore wiki page. In the hurry of things, we tend to skip
over critical info. My fault. Will be more careful next time. <br>
