cant get mythweb to work

[zeltak]

hi all

Everything works perfectly (well almost...) in the final release. i switched from mythdora and it is much faster , i love it (no to say mythdora was bad!). One thing i cant get to work is mythweb. i get this page that says index of and then apache as a link. other then that nothing. it used to work flawlessly before on my previous machine. can any one help?

thx for this really great distro!

Have you added /mythweb to the end of your IP? eg. 192.168.1.1/mythweb

I have a problem, too. Don't know if I should start a new thread.

I connect to my mythbuntu box but apache2 says:

root@tv:/home/simon# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart * Restarting web server apache2 apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for tv apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for tv apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName

and mythweb says:

Database Access Denied You are most likely receiving this message because you have failed to configure mythweb's database login info. Please see .htaccess for instructions.

It doesn't matter if I have set a password or not.

Other things like munin or phpsysinfo works

ok I fixed the apache2 error by editing /etc/hosts to:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 127.0.1.1 tv.lan tv

first it looked like this

127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 tv

but I am unable to connect to mythweb, I have executed dpkg-reconfigure mythweb, but still not working...

[p$y]

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 :-/

[zeltak]

thx for the answers

i did try it with the mythweb at the end but i get the error message of database denied. i guess it has to do with the htaccess and mysql.txt, yet i have no idea of how to change it...

thx

sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythweb

Reconfigure mythtv-common and put the right info in. Then reconfigure mythweb.

Based on the message by p$y, I just changed the database password line in the file /etc/mythtv/mythweb-htaccess to the correct password, which is listed in the file /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt. That password seems to be autogenerated by Mythbuntu setup, since I didn't get asked for one and didn't manually force one. Based on that post, I did NOT run the dpkg-reconfigure command, as it is reported to screw up what I just fixed!

I had already set a username and password for mythweb in the Mythbuntu Control Center so I didn't need to redo that.

Also, you do need to point your browser to "IP ADDRESS"/mythweb and then it works. Pointing to just "IP ADDRESS" like I've done in Knoppmyth doesn't work in Mythbuntu. I guess the Knoppmyth boys put a redirect in to do the work for you.

This password bug is still something that should be fixed in the Mythbuntu setup, but until it is fixed, at least we know how to do it ourselves.

Cheers!
Eric
