Mybuntu 7.10 BUG!

There seems to be a problem with Mythbuntu MythWeb package.  Here is part of the conversation I was having with a user that was trying to get it fixxed.

The bug is also in Ubuntu 7.10's MythWeb Package.

I found the fix for mythweb.  It's in this forum post:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=590858&highlight=mythweb

"ok now I resolved the problem, the password in

/etc/mythtv/mythweb-htaccess was not the same like in

/etc/mythtv/mysql.txt and everytime I run dpkg-reconfigure mythweb the

password will be replaced with a wrong one :-/"

So, I just changed the database password line in the file

/etc/mythtv/mythweb-htaccess to the correct one, which is listed in the

file /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt.  That password seems to be autogenerated by

Mythbuntu setup.  Based on this forum post, I did NOT run the

dpkg-reconfigure command again, as it is reported to screw up what I

just fixed!

Also, you have to point your browser to "IP ADDRESS"/mythweb and then it

works.  Pointing to just "IP ADDRESS" like we've done with Knoppmyth

doesn't work.  It looks like this:  192.168.7.13/mythweb

It's still something that should be fixed, but until it is fixed, we

know how to do it ourselves.

Cheers!

Eric,

I found this link on the web,

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=573843 that will tell you to

sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythweb

which I should of thought of.

Give that a try, and see if that will fixx it.

Good Luck.

I'm not sure where it was getting the Mythweb.  I did have the ethernet plugged in during all the installs so it could have been either,

I suppose.

Humm...

I will have to look at the other system I have that I setup loading Ubuntu and then loading MythTV stuff.  See if that one is broken.  Do you know if your mythbuntu was getting the MythWeb package from the cd-rom or from the internet ?

Hi Brian,

I wondered if you were using the beta or the final.  I do think mythweb got broken when they made the final version.

Mythweb is checked in the Mythbuntu configuration window by default.  I tried many things including uninstalling mythweb, reinstalling mythweb, setting the mythweb username and password.  I also reinstalled Mythbuntu several times - wiping the hard drive clean each time just to be sure there was no residual crud from the previous install.  Based on that, I think the problem is the final version of

Mythbuntu 7.10.

Thanks for your advice.

Eric

Eric,

I didn't have to set anything to get MythWeb to work ?   I was using the    Beta ? not sure if something was broken between the Beta and the finial release ?

Did you try and reboot ? you also might make sure mythweb is installed (I don't remember if I installed that or not ? ) do and

"apt-get install

  mythweb" ?

I will try and send you my apache config from my mythbuntu.

Good Luck.
