Yes. You can also add a comment after the semicolon (comments start with //) with some unique text to know what you changed in case you have to back it out.

Yes. Or, comment out the existing global $db; and add a new line with the assignment and a unique comment like the one above.

If this little theory is correct you'll probably get the same "db has no member named" error but in a different place. At that point we'd go through and replace all the global db declarations with db assignments.

I've added to that latter line both the hostname of the myth machine on my LAN and its LAN IP (don't know if there should be commas between, but I've just put spaces). After restarting nginx, still no remote access.

I should have looked at the docs on this (http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/server_names.html) but it turns out giving an invalid host name like _ ends up being a match-all. I use virtual hosts so I never needed to do this but with a single-site setup you don't care how clients get to your myth box, you just want them to see mythweb. Of course, bounce nginx or, I think, do "nginx -s reload" before browsing remotely.
