Okay now that I can watch and record live tv, thanks to the suggestions by: Xsecrets, tjc and iscraigh, I would like to try and solve my program guide problems. It is completely out of sync. for example according to my program guide the show 24 on fox which runs Mondays at 9:00 pm will be on at 4:00am. So obviously my program guides shows are 7hours behind and out of sync. I tried to adjust the "offset" in the mythtvsetup screens, but it made no difference. and then performed the 'mythfilldatabase' command. My system clock is set to the correct time and zone. Any suggestions? thanks in advance!

Dump the program guide data in the db and repopulate it.

Thank you Cecil, Sorry to be such a newbie, but I am afraid I do not know the commands to do this The only mythtv database command i know is 'mythfilldatabase' and I am quite certain that is not what you mean. If you or anyone could enlighten me I would really appreciate it.. thanks again!

See my reply here: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4072
Why do these things seem to happen in waves?
OBTW - Does that time difference look familiar? (Hint - PST is UTC+7) I'd suggest firing up webmin and double checking the setting of your hardware clock.

check your timezone and the re-populate your program guide. Also I had a wacky problem of locale got changed to Germany and so my program guide was all out of wacked and I had to delete 1 file to get it switch back.

Hey guys thanks for the help! So I went through the steps and unfortunately I am having the same problem. tjc, about starting up webmin for the potential hardware clock problem... i followed the webmin howto here:

http://knoppmythwiki.homelinux.org/index.php?page=WebminHowTo

I followed all of the steps closely and but when i go to start webmin with this:

/ect/init.d/webmin start

i get the following error "No such file or directory" I ran it as the su from the root directory (and even the /root directory) and still nothing. any ideas? Is there another way to check and fix a clock issue? Thanks again!

Just wondering if you had a typo there. It's etc not ect. start at /

cd /

ls (to see what's there).

cd et[tab] (typing a few characters and then hitting tab is called tab completion, it completes the word for you. If more than one word are possible, htting tab twice will show you all possible. Type another letter or two then hit tab again.

cd /etc/init[tab] ... you get the idea now, use tab completion to get to the dir. Once in init.d (verify with pwd) (Don't know what pwd is? type man pwd to find out), type ls to see that webmin is there. Now you could type ./webmin start, or use tab completion to type the whole path.

hth

Or you could use the name completion to do the ls and then use command history to run the program... I've got a bunch of people at work always have to go to the directory to run a command that isn't in their path. (Whats up with that? ) Try this as root: if that works and the file shows it's executable then do this: if not you may need to apt-get it (search for details).

Okay that worked. At least it restarted webmin. Now If i could just access webmin through my browser. I installed firefox and when i try to access webmin i get the message "Error - Access Denied for 192.168.0.5" My router lists the mythtv machine at that address. This obviously seems to be some sort of permissions problem.... so did a chmod 777 to

/etc/init.d/webmin

that did not seem to work so i tried the chmod 777 on

/etc/webmin

then i restarted webmin

and that failed to work as well

I hate to keep this thread alive, but can you guys help with this? I wasnt able to find any relevant posts in this forum or through google. As always guys I really appreciate all of the help and effort! Cheers! Hopefully once i get webmin up and running I can leave you all alone... at least until this weekend

**Xsecrets** runs for cover before tjc explodes. LOL

You could just search the forum for details on starting webmin. It was one of the first "Hints & Tips" that I posted....

You might wanna edit your post change that chmod 777 to chmod a+rx (or chmod ug+rx)

I've haven't run webadmin, so I can't comment on your problems. However, you could simply run "date" and "date -u". These should give the local time and UTC/GMT time respectively. If not, you need to fix it. "man date" and man -k timezone" should help find the answer.

Cheers,

Allen

Naah... I'm in a really good mood today, so I can enjoy it as slapstick.

However I will say that using chmod 777 is generally like trying to cure your dog of fleas by burning off all its hair with blow torch. It may "solve" the problem but at the cost of creating a far bigger one. It's also almost always a sign that you don't understand the problem.

In this case it's actually like trying to cure your dog of fleas by burning all the hair off your cat with a blow torch. The permission refused error here had nothing to do with the file system, it was the webmin server refusing a connection to a host it wasn't configured to allow acces from.

Okay I am wicked embarrased! I noticed that i had the wrong ip address in the miniserv.conf 192.168.1.5 and it should have been 192.168.0.5. So the good news is I was able to get into webmin.

The better news is that I was able to get the program guide working. tjc you mentioned the keyword "timezone" once I searched for that I found a bunch of similar threads... the one that did the trick was this:

http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=128

Here is the process that will allow you to change yur timezone through the knoppmyth gui. It was very simple. For easy reference i pasted cesman's directions here:

As root:KnoppMyth-tz
/etc/init.d/mysql restart
As the user mythtv:cd ~/.mythtv
rm -fr *.xmltv channels
mythtv-setup
yes to second question
Once you are finished
As root:/etc/cron.daily/mythtv-backend

Success! Thanks guys for all of your help! Now onto the remote... I'm sure that will be a smooth process
