Mythweb Backend Status Error with clean 710 DL DVD install

[diesel12]

Mythweb is working great except for the Backend Status page.(http://192.168.80.1/mythweb/status) I get:

Error at /usr/share/mythtv/mythweb/modules/status/handler.php, line 29:
file_get_contents(http://192.168.80.1:6544) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!


Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like something that should be logged in mantis, does anybody else see this problem?

I have just moved to a brand new box Intel dual core, nvidia 8400 GS 512megs ram and 2 Gigs in the system.
Watching live TV is freezing frequently and running top shows the mythbackend hogging the machine.

Just done a clean install from CD's with beta 3.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Another piece of information. After trying everything that I could think of, I turned off the second CPU/core. Seems to be running fine. If it continues, then it is a locking issue when running SMP.

Do you have XVMC enabled for that Media director?

[labrat68]

Not sure who the XVMC question is for? But if it not on by default then now. I have determined that the frequency is much lower when one core is turned off via the BIOS but it still locks up - maybe hours.

Bump to see if anyone else is getting this...

Getting this message means that either the mythbackend and/or mysql has crashed.  I got this on 710 Beta 3 but it went away when I upgraded to Beta 4. 

Also check to see if your password for the mysql.txt password is the one that is generated during your install and not mythtv:mythtv
I personally think that is what is causing the crashes.

Wiped and reinstalled clean using beta 4 and this is fixed. I'm not seeing any longer though, the place where I can add pictures for channels and shows... So at least this issue is fixed. Others were introduced, but the system is usable
