[mythtvnz] Need some help with new install of mythtv

[Steve V]

In Ubuntu 14.04, the correct way to start mythbackend is:

  sudo start mythtv-backend

(or just "start mythtv-backend" from a root prompt).
SV >> just tried sudo start mythtv-backend            terminal replies with:
            mythtv-backend start/running, process 3220
            but if I ps -ae |grep myth i can see that mythbackend is not running            also if I ps -ae there is no preocess 3220 

Upstart jobs are controlled from files in /etc/init.  In this case,
the file you need to look at is:



  /etc/init/mythtv-backend
SV>>this file does not exist in my install


and unless you have made any changes to things, it should
automatically start on boot, as do all the Upstart jobs in /etc/init.
All the setup for MythTV should just work in Mythbuntu 14.04 and it
normally does, unless your networking setup is non-standard (like
mine).  So you should take a look at the log file:

  /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
SV>> this is likely the problem 
            Jan  2 11:23:12 MythBE mythbackend: mythbackend[3566]: E CoreContext mythdbcon.cpp:216 (OpenDatabase) Unable to connect to database!
            Jan  2 11:23:12 MythBE mythbackend: mythbackend[3566]: E CoreContext mythdbcon.cpp:217 (OpenDatabase) Driver error was [1/1045]:#012QMYSQL: Unable to             connect#012Database error was:#012Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES)        
SV>> when i first installed mythtv I couldn't get qccess to the database so I used the following instructions to reset the mythconverg password.mysql -u root -p
set password for 'mythtv'@'%' = password('mythtv');
set password for 'mythtv'@'localhost' = password('mythtv');
connect mythconverg;
grant all privileges on *.* to 'mythtv'@'%' with grant option;
grant all privileges on *.* to 'mythtv'@'localhost' with grant option;
flush privileges;
exit;

I then changed the password in mythtv backend setup, but I didn't change it in the file /home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml.
Now that I have edited /home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml the backend is starting on boot. 


and see if there is anything there to tell you why it does not run on
boot or with a "start mythtv-backend" command.  Permissions or
networking problems seem the most likely things.

Also, did you edit the /etc/mythtv/config.xml file to put in the
correct database password that matches your restored database?  In
your old setup, that may still be in the /etc/config.txt file, but in
later MythTV versions, it has all moved into config.xml.

SV>> Thanks for your help..
