OR if you actually want the mythtv log files create /var/log/mythtv with the permissions appropriate to the user who's running the daemon (root).  The issue is that you cannot create /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log since /var/log/mythtv doesn't exist :)

just comment out the line that reads:

HOME="/var/log/mythtv"

and it should start up via the rc script.

Hi !

I've also had similar problem with my gentoo - mythtv construction

try the following :
Has the user in /etc/conf.d/mythbackend permissions on the logfile, is this
user a member of the groups video and audio ?
Reset the service with /etc/init.d/mythbackend zap before trying to restart
it !
Any left over pid files like /var/run/mythbackend.pid ?
Does the mysql.txt file have the right settings for the database server ?
Is there a nfslockfile.lock in the /mnt/store, delete it.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Fritz

Betreff: [mythtv-users] mythbackend on Gentoo


Hello,

I just finished installing Myth on Gentoo and everything is working fine
with one exception:
The rc script that is supposed to start mythbackend in the default
runlevel does not seem to function properly.
If I start mythbackend manually form the command line everything works
wonderfully.
I can't seem to find any reason for this. Especially since the script in
/etc/init.d says the backend is running fine but ps and mythfrontend
tell a different story.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

--
