Yes. Benn there and done that. Sometimes their serve just doesn't |
| 8 |
respond and MYth doesn't pick it up. This should run on your back end |
| 9 |
server once a day. Sometime I have only 13/12/11 days worth of data |
| 10 |
into the future but eventually it picks up new listings correctly and |
| 11 |
your off to the races. |

I'm glad you've made headway. |

The issue here is to get mysql to allow your wife's machine to have |
| 22 |
access. I am WOEFULLY inadequate and uneducated in this area. I |
| 23 |
promise that I am giving you incomplete or inaccurate info. (Honestly |
| 24 |
and openly though...) IIRC you need to do at least three things: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
1) Set up mysql on the server to bind to the network. From /etc/mysql/my.cnf |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
# keep secure by default! |
| 29 |
bind-address = 192.168.1.55 |
| 30 |
port = 3306 |
| 31 |
# this can make it even more secure: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
.55 is our backend address. Substitute your backend's IP and restart |
| 34 |
mysql. (NOTE - don't run that machine with DHCP...) |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
2) Change the settings in mythsetup to use your IP address instead of |
| 37 |
localhost. Do not change other settings. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
3) You then have to run some mysql commands shown on the web to give |
| 40 |
remote devices access to the database. IIRC I used the strategy where |
| 41 |
you make eveything on the local net able to access the server. I |
| 42 |
thought it was in the Gentoo wiki but I'm not seeing it right now: |

Go to the MySQL section 9.2. It should have been there, I thought. |
| 47 |
(Incorrectly) It's probably in Jarod's Fedora setup guide for MythTV. |
| 48 |
The deal here is that the standard setup for MySQL is overly secure |
| 49 |
for a MythTV type setup and you need to open it up. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
I hope this info is at least moderately helpful. I admit I'm a putz. I |
| 52 |
did get it working, but it was nearly a year ago I think. |
