Can't connect to DB (Mageia system)

Post by anp66 »

Hi
I use MythTv but after upgrading I can't connect to the database.

I can connect to the database from the command prompt:

Code: Select all

[anders@localhost mythtv]$ pwd
/var/log/mythtv
[anders@localhost mythtv]$ mysql --user=mythtv -p
Enter password: ????????

When I run the mythtv-setup from the command prompt, the following is in the log:

The Config file that is changed from the mythtv-setup looks like this:

Code: Select all

[anders@localhost mythtv]$ cat /home/anders/.mythtv/config.xml

  </UPnP>
</Configuration>
If I change the host name from the mythtv-setup program, the <Host> field is changed.
I've changed the field to: ip address on server, 127.0.0.1 it makes no difference.
From mythtv setup I've changed port to 6543, 6544 but it doesn't help either.

Where / how can I look up which values to use?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Re: Can't connect to DB (Mageia system)

Post by blm-ubunet »

You've posted a mythbackend log.. did you mean to post the mythtv-setup log??

If you run mythtv-setup as user "anders" it will use a different config.xml file to backend.
Mythbackend typically runs as user "mythtv" & this is often NOT the frontend or normal user.

Your backend is trying to use config.xml from /var/lib/mythtv/ because there is no home folder for user "mythtv".
Just make the 2 config.xml in /home/anders/.mythtv/ & /var/lib/mythtv/ the same.

I used to symlink one to the other in the past (14.04), not sure that is still doable.

Thanks for your reply blm-unbunet!

The config file in /var/lib/mythtv/config.xml looks real, but for security reasons it was copied:

Code: Select all

[anders@localhost mythtv] $ cp /var/lib/mythtv/config.xml /home/anders/.mythtv/config.xml
cp: overwrite '/home/anders/.mythtv/config.xml'? y
Unfortunately, it still can't connect to db, but now the files are similar :-).

Is there a log file for mythtv setup?

Here's the screen dump of what's happening:

Were you using mariadb before the upgrade?
Driver error sounds like mythtv db driver is missing/broken.
Is this package installed?

Yes mariadb was installed before upgrade.
libqt5sql5-mysql is not installed, and I can't choose it.

I think mariadb is running (see the status for service mysqld above).

I must back on track :-).
The closest I get to an error message is this: "Start up failure. Host localhost, status dbAwakeFail"
Are there logs I can examine ?

The service mysql/mariadb server may be running but the logs show:
Driver error was [1/]:
Driver not loaded
Database error was:
Driver not loaded

I'm fairly sure that Mythtv core uses Qt mysql drivers & uses python-mysql for lots of scripts.

Can you downgrade mariadb to previous version? or change to mysql?

Anders,

Take a look at this one, note the initial post in the thread has the same symptom.

viewtopic.php?f=36&t=2957&p=14245&hilit ... ql#p14334
If your OS uses pacman, then I believe this will show if the driver is available:

Re: Can't connect to DB (Mageia system)

Post by anp66 »

Mageia is using rpm package manager.

Code: Select all

[root@localhost .mythtv]# rpm -qa|grep -i mysql|sort
lib64qt5-database-plugin-mysql-5.9.4-1.2.mga6
perl-DBD-mysql-4.46.0-1.mga6
python-mysql-1.3.7-2.mga6
Can we use this for something, it is only possible to log in as localhost:

Code: Select all

[anders@localhost ~]$ mysql -h192.168.87.33 -umythtv -p mythconverg
Enter password: 
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.87.33' (111 "Connection refused")

[anders@localhost ~]$ mysql -h127.0.0.1 -umythtv -p mythconverg
Enter password: 
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (111 "Connection refused")

Re: Can't connect to DB (Mageia system)

Post by bill6502 »

Our current Ansible tree says that for rpm qt5-qtbase-mysql is used. That may have changed
depending on your distribution (I don't have any Mageia.)

The last test, using --host=localhost is a good choice. Don't know why the 127 one fails. Plus
localhost matches your config.xml, if it hasn't changed: <Host>localhost</Host>

Assuming your MySQL configuration is in the same place as mine: grep --recursive bind.address /etc/mysql
may help. I prefer: bind-address=::, but that may be too open for you.

You <may> find clues in /var/log/mysql/error.log.

Re: Can't connect to DB (Mageia system)

Post by anp66 »

This is now really frustrating :-(.
I can't get the mythtv setup to connect to the database, but can't figure out why. People come (and I'm glad) with all sorts of guesses, but I miss a structured way to solve the problems one at a time.
I miss a log file that specifically tells me why there is no contact with the database.

The only way I can connect to the database is as follows (i.e. not with an ip address or 127.0.0.1):

Code: Select all

[anders@localhost ~]$ mysql -hlocalhost -umythtv -p???????? mythconverg

I can also access the database when a backup is made and it provides the following information:

Code: Select all

[anders@localhost mythtv]$ ./mythconverg_backup.pl --verbose

I've convinced myself that mythtv-setup should be able to run before it makes sense to look at why mythbackend won't start.
I also hope that mythbackend will run when the mythtv-setup works.

I only have 1 mythtv backend and 1 mythtv frontend and they run on the same machine.

This is the hosts file:

From the above, I can't figure out if I missed to define a backend (BE) ?.
Something is missing which means that mythtv cannot connect to the database ?.
Is there anything wrong with the mythtv setup in the database ?
Port 3306 against the database is not open (works, as said, in backup script.) ?.

My firewall is shut down to avoid problems.

Re: Can't connect to DB (Mageia system)

Post by bill6502 »

Agreed/sorry about the frustrating part. As to structure, you've done the normal (ping, nmap, mysql --host... .)

Note that MasterServerName is missing from the SELECT above. Problem is that it gets set in
mythtv-setup or when the DB is upgraded from a lower schema. I can't recall anyone using
localhost there, but I believe it's valid (I don't use it and haven't tried as my box is accessible
to my whole network.)

Another thing, didn't see the output of: grep --recursive bind.address /etc/mysql output. Yours may be in /etc/my.cfg
or perhaps my.cfg.d.

Wondering if your host is preferring IPv6 over IPv4.

nmap -p3306 -6 --reason localhost as something allows your mysql... test to work. Try nmap -p3306 -4 --reason localhost
and expect it to fail.

Hi Bill6502
Thanks for your prompt reply !


Regarding MasterServerName, should I insert a line in db myself ?
If YES, what values should I use for MasterServerName ?

Here is the result with regard to bind address.
First, all cnf files:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost /]# find . -name *.cnf -print
./usr/share/mysql/wsrep.cnf
./usr/share/mysql/my-huge.cnf
./usr/share/mysql/my-medium.cnf
./usr/share/mysql/my-innodb-heavy-4G.cnf
./usr/share/mysql/my-small.cnf
./usr/share/mysql/my-large.cnf
./home/anders/.local/share/Trash/files/usr/bin/openssl.cnf
./home/anders/usr/bin/openssl.cnf
./etc/my.cnf
./etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf
./etc/my.cnf.d/mysql-clients.cnf
./etc/my.cnf.d/server_audit.cnf
./etc/my.cnf.d/query_cache_info.cnf
./etc/my.cnf.d/metadata_lock_info.cnf
./etc/my.cnf.d/ha_federatedx.cnf
./etc/my.cnf.d/auth_socket.cnf
./etc/my.cnf.d/query_response_time.cnf
./etc/my.cnf.d/semisync_master.cnf
./etc/my.cnf.d/auth_pam.cnf
./etc/my.cnf.d/auth_gssapi.cnf
./etc/my.cnf.d/client.cnf
./etc/my.cnf.d/server.cnf
./etc/my.cnf.d/handlersocket.cnf
./etc/my.cnf.d/disks.cnf
./etc/my.cnf.d/ha_blackhole.cnf
./etc/my.cnf.d/locales.cnf
./etc/my.cnf.d/sql_errlog.cnf
./etc/my.cnf.d/feedback.cnf
./etc/my.cnf.d/semisync_slave.cnf
./etc/my.cnf.d/ha_archive.cnf
./etc/my.cnf.d/cracklib_password_check.cnf
So the cnf files that have something to do with mythtv:

Code: Select all

/etc
[anders@localhost etc]$ ls -l *.cnf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5396 Oct 13 15:03 my.cnf
[anders@localhost etc]$ grep --recursive bind.address *.cnf
#bind-address=192.168.100.1
bind-address=localhost

/etc/my.cnf.d
[anders@localhost my.cnf.d]$ grep --recursive bind.address *.cnf
server.cnf:#bind-address=0.0.0.0
server.cnf:bind-address=localhost

[anders@localhost my.cnf.d]$ ls -l server.cnf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1103 Oct 13 15:02 server.cnf
Here are the outputs for the nmap commands:

Code: Select all

[anders@localhost ~]$ nmap -p3306 -6 --reason localhost

Starting Nmap 7.40 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2019-10-16 21:58 CEST
Nmap scan report for localhost (::1)
Host is up, received conn-refused (0.000065s latency).
Other addresses for localhost (not scanned): 127.0.0.1
PORT     STATE  SERVICE REASON
3306/tcp closed mysql   conn-refused

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.03 seconds

Code: Select all

[anders@localhost ~]$ nmap -p3306 -4 --reason localhost

Starting Nmap 7.40 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2019-10-16 22:00 CEST
Nmap scan report for localhost (127.0.0.1)
Host is up, received conn-refused (0.000046s latency).
Other addresses for localhost (not scanned): ::1
rDNS record for 127.0.0.1: localhost.localdomain
PORT     STATE  SERVICE REASON
3306/tcp closed mysql   conn-refused

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.03 seconds
In both cases, the tcp port is closed with cause: conn-refused
I've tried to "google" conn-refused, but can't find any answer to use.

Re: Can't connect to DB (Mageia system)

AFAIK
If this is a combined FE & BE with this BE being the master then

Code: Select all

BackendServerIP   | 192.168.1.15   | 127.0.0.1 |
BackendServerIP   | 127.0.0.1        | localhost  |
BackendServerIP6    | ::1               | 127.0.0.1 |
BackendServerIP6    | ::1               | localhost  |
MasterServerIP     | 192.168.87.33 | NULL        |
Shouldn't MasterServerIP == BackendServerIP ?

and if you have no remote FEs or slave BEs then this can be 127.0.0.1

<Edit>
In an old trial MythTV build/setup..
I have a "MasterServerName" set as well.
And I have NO IP addresses listed in the hostname column, only NULL & actual computer hostname </edit>

Re: Can't connect to DB (Mageia system)

@blm-ubunet, good catch,yes the Master should match the Backend, but he's not getting that far.
Can't even connect to the DB to read it. MasterServerName now defines the Master/
Slave role.

@anp66, hold off on setting the MasterServerName manually.

@anp66, your netstat command is OK, but may need to be run with sudo (I don't need sudo.)
If port 3306 isn't there, that's a problem. If sudo doesn't help (you still don't see 3306, that
suggests that MariaDB isn't running.) That makes no sense if the mysql --hostname... command
line test still works.

Try this (so we can verify that the mysql port is really 3306: ss -n -o 'sport = :mysql'

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/serve ... nd_address describes how the bind-address
works. Unlike MySQL, the page doesn't say if IPv4 is preferred if it's defined in /etc/hosts when IPv6 is.
You could TEMPORARILY comment out the IPv6 address. Restart MariaDB if you change it and re-test
mythtv-setup.

@blm-ubunet
Thanks for your reply !.
At one point I got google mess network, therefore ip address changed.
I will remember your comments when connecting to db again.

@bill6502
Again thanks for your reply, it is appreciated !

Below is the result when nmap is run as root. The gate is still closed, but the reason has been changed to 'reset ttl 64' :

Code: Select all

[root@localhost anders]# nmap -p3306 -4 --reason localhost

Starting Nmap 7.40 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2019-10-17 05:14 CEST
Nmap scan report for localhost (127.0.0.1)
Host is up, received localhost-response (0.000038s latency).
Other addresses for localhost (not scanned): ::1
rDNS record for 127.0.0.1: localhost.localdomain
PORT     STATE  SERVICE REASON
3306/tcp closed mysql   reset ttl 64

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.25 seconds

Code: Select all

[root@localhost anders]# nmap -p3306 -6 --reason localhost

Starting Nmap 7.40 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2019-10-17 05:14 CEST
Nmap scan report for localhost (::1)
Host is up, received localhost-response (0.000058s latency).
Other addresses for localhost (not scanned): 127.0.0.1
PORT     STATE  SERVICE REASON
3306/tcp closed mysql   reset ttl 64

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.25 seconds
Below is the result of the ss command. There is no difference whether the command is run as a regular user or root:

Code: Select all

[anders@localhost ~]$ ss -n -o 'sport = :mysql'
Netid State      Recv-Q Send-Q                                                          Local Address:Port                                                                         Peer Address:Port              

Code: Select all

[root@localhost anders]# ss -n -o 'sport = :mysql'
Netid State      Recv-Q Send-Q                                                          Local Address:Port                                                                         Peer Address:Port          
Interesting document about server system variables THANKS.
However, I do not understand where I need to (TEMPORARILY) comment out the IPv6 address ?
