Using the built in MYSQL server to share XBMC library

Did you look in the location specified in an earlier post in this thread? You can also try

Code: Select all

find / -name my.cnf

[cpg]

it's in /etc/my.cnf
(be careful, or your HDA will break if this file is not set up well)

Ah yes, that's where I found it before - wasn't 100% sure though as it didn't have the bind-address value inside it - so I didn't want to mess with it in case I broke something!

Code: Select all

[mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock user=mysql # Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks symbolic-links=0 [mysqld_safe] log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

So all I was going to do was:

Code: Select all

[mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock user=mysql # Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks symbolic-links=0 bind-address = 192.168.1.254 [mysqld_safe] log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

In the end, this is what solved it for me:

I think the issue was that Gotham creates it's own database, so creating one manually messed it up for me.

Is this worthy of adding to the wiki? If so, it would be great if you could so so.
