Upgraded Lenny to Squeeze: mythtv can't connect to mysql
The upgrade actually went pretty well, except for what looks like a new "feature" to mysql-server-5.1. But I post here, because the issue seemed to be in "/etc/hosts" file. If it should really be somewhere else, feel free to move it. Specifically, the problem is during configuration of mythtv-database I get the following:
Code:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'musem.local' There is something I've never quite understood about /etc/hosts. This has been the first two lines of my file since I upgraded to Lenny. My machine name is "musem", of course. file: /etc/hosts Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost NOTE: This mythtv server "musem" is my main machine, and is being remotely accessed by the Linux box next to my TV. |
I hate answering my own questions, but perhaps putting the question down on LQ organizes it for me such that I can do a better search. In any case, the answer for what "127.0.1.1" does (and why my changed fixed the problem) was posted by win32sux here. Why this is suddenly necessary with mysql-server-5.1 is an entirely different question.
