MythWeb - No TV Configured error

[snaef999]

I recently upgraded from .25 to .27 and now have an error in Mythweb. I get "No TVs Configured". I have verified that the DB password is correct. My tuners are all set up and Myth works properly except for this MythWeb error. I had a slight issue updating the DB schema during the upgrade and I am thinking that there are possibly some old values or settings that are still around that are bad. Can anybody point me in the correct direction to resolve this? I tried removing the Mythweb plugin and re-installing it but I still have the error.

No suggestions?

Did you upgrade mythweb as well?

[snaef999]

Been a while, but I came across my own post while updating to 27.3 today. Turns out somewhere along the line my db schema changed from 'mythconverg' to 'mythconverge'. I'm not sure when or how that happened. I'm pretty sure i never changed it, but that was what was causing my error. Correcting the mythweb.conf with the new db name fixed this issue.

I have the same problem. My mythweb.conf file looks fine. I'm on 0.27 and have been for a few months. This seems to have happened randomly. No packages blacklisted for upgrade and all packages up-to-date - nothing to update or upgrade. Backend status and settings page look normal. If I go to my bookmarked shortcut for upcoming recordings I get an "An unknown module was specified" message. Any suggestions ?

Using mythbunutu 12.04.

Mythweb Installed version is 2:0.27.6+fixes.20160213.332aa34-0ubuntu0mythbuntu5.

apt-cache policy mythtv gives
mythtv:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2:0.27.6+fixes.20160213.332aa34-0ubuntu0mythbuntu5

mythbackend --version gives
MythTV Version : v0.27.6-6-g332aa34

Hi,

Sounds like a different problem (as the original was a misspelling of mythconverg.)
Not a lot to go on here. The question implies that other pages in mythweb work,
but the bookmarked link to upcoming doesn't. A good starting point is looking at
the Apache logs:

Code: Select all

tailf /var/log/apache2/error.log

and attempting to go to the page again. Don't use the bookmark, type the
URL manually, e.g. yourBackend/mythweb/tv/upcoming (or wherever your
pages live.

Hi. Thanks for the response. Agreed - underlying problem must be different - but symptoms are the same. Thanks for suggestion re logs, but unfortunately that is not revealing anything.

This was done at 6pm local time 20 Feb. The restarts from last night and this morning were my apache restarts after various attempts to solve the problem.
I uninstalled / reinstalled mythweb with purge a couple of times. Updated ports in conf files as I have an alternative port setting. Ran mythtv-setup etc, but the current status is same as before. ie MythWeb is available, backend status page is normal but no upcoming recordings page

The tail did not update after I navigated to the upcoming page by typing in the url manually (http://htpc:3389/mythweb/tv/upcoming) -

Bump. Anybody else able to assist with any ideas ?

[bill6502]

Let's ask the obvious, does the tv directory (module) even exist?
Your path may be different.

Code: Select all

ls -l /var/www/mythweb/modules/tv

There are 3 directories and 32 files in the above for me.

[belbo]

Thanks for responding. Yep. It exists. All owned root:root, but readable by all.

Code: Select all

Bump. Is anybody able to offer any further ideas please ?

[bill6502]

I'll sign off this as I have no better ideas, however, since you've mentioned
a custom setup, and that "Backend status and settings" work, does going
to: http://htpc:3389/mythweb/tv (or music, videos) work? Suggesting that
there's something configuration related that prevents going 'below' the
tv module. I'd assume that the browser(s) have been restarted (many
times) and that it's not a caching issue.

Good luck!

I had another attempt at troubleshooting this today and solved my problem. I purged and reinstalled again which didn't help. I had a look at the config files again and noticed that setenv db_name was set to "mythtv" and not "mythconverg" in /etc/apache2/sites-available/mythweb.conf. Once I changed it all was back to normal. This is pretty weird as I checked my config when this problem first occurred - because that's what caused the OP's issue - my db name was definitely mythconverg then. Perhaps I was looking in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mythweb.conf. Like the OP, I'm not really sure how or why these changes occured - but - I'm just pleased it is working now. Thanks to bill6502 for trying to help.
