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.p...hlight=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!
