Backup the database on your source machine. Newer versions of mythtv do this for you automatically. Check out the mythconverg_backup.pl script if you have to do it manually.
Delete any existing database on your destination machine:
$ mysql -u root
mysql> DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS mythconverg;
mysql> quit
Re-create the empty database on your destination machine:
$ mysql -u root < mc.sql
You may also have to set up the mythtv user with the correct password:
$ mysql -u root < mc.sql
UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('YOURPASSWORDHERE') WHERE user='mythtv';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
After this, run the mythconverg_restore.pl script:
mythconverg_restore.pl --filename mythconverg-1214-20091010150513.sql.gz
You may have to specify hostname, database name and enter the password if you don’t have a mysql.txt file set up in my .mythtv directory. You may also have to specify the fully qualified path to the file if it’s not located in your default backup directory.
