Now mythweb is gone. Again. This time /var/www/mythweb is there and everything is fine. This time it seems to be the Mysql database for real.

Get this in syslog after trying to manually start mysqld with /etc/init.d/mysql restart:

Jul 17 17:45:47 mythtv kernel: agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:02:00.0 into 4x mode

Jul 17 17:48:10 mythtv mysqld[5850]:

Jul 17 17:48:17 mythtv /etc/init.d/mysql[5894]:


and when I'm trying to access mythweb it says this:

Database Error
Can't connect to the database server. Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) [#2002]


is there a script to rebuild everything back to order? everyting worked fine until I shutdown the machine last night (with "halt" over ssh, which I usually do). And when trying to start this morning, first it wouldn't start the X-server, which I fixed by going back to xorg.conf.20060712140838. Then I got it to boot, but when trying to start mythbacked and mythfrontend, it just quits after choosing language and database settings.

I didn't do a apt-get since 12 july, and then it was only a manual mythplugins install and a boinc_client install...

comment out "old_passwords = 1" in your /etc/mysql/my.cnf

yeah, realized that some hours after posting that. sorry. thanks for the heads-up.
