Post subject:  No joy after upgrading to R5F1
I just upgraded from R5E50 to R5F1 and the upgrade itself worked fine except I needed to change the xorg.conf a bit as it had the frame buffer device wrong.

Now that I have the upgrade complete I can not get the backend to startup. I get the following message in the log:

Code:
root@mythtv:/var/log/mythtv# tail -f mythbackend.log
No setting found for this machine's BackendServerIP.
Please run setup on this machine and modify the first page
of the general settings.
2007-06-29 21:15:49.585 Using runtime prefix = /usr
2007-06-29 21:15:49.621 New DB connection, total: 1
2007-06-29 21:15:49.628 Connected to database 'mythconverg' at host: 172.25.25.251
2007-06-29 21:15:49.634 Current Schema Version: 1160
No setting found for this machine's BackendServerIP.
Please run setup on this machine and modify the first page
of the general settings.


I did not change the hostname of the server. I did make two changes though after the upgrade was complete:

1) Modified the /etc/hosts to:

172.25.25.251 mythtv
127.0.0.1 localhost

2) Modified the /etc/mysql/my.cnf:

bind-address = 172.25.25.251

I had to do this as I have a remote front end that needs to connect to the backend that I just upgraded.

In mythconverg:

Code:
mysql> select * from settings where value = 'BackendServerIP';
+-----------------+---------------+----------+
| value           | data          | hostname |
+-----------------+---------------+----------+
| BackendServerIP | 172.25.25.251 | mythtv   |
| BackendServerIP | 172.25.25.152 | mythtv02 |
+-----------------+---------------+----------+


Any thoughts as to why this is happening?

I figured it out. I had told it to use a custom identifier for the settings and thought I could put any old identifier in there. So instead of identifying it as "mythtv" I put "gameroom". When I added "-v database" to the startup of the backend it showed it was selecting from the database using the hostname "gameroom".

So all solved now.

did you run mythtv-setup and see what IP it is set to?

Is the box connected to the network and able to ping other machines?

did you check to make sure the machine has the correct ip address?

Just some things to check going by the error.

Never mind glad you figured it out.

:D

Well, look at it this way, now you know why there's that warning about changing the hostname... ;-)
