mythweb does not use config.xml

[cncook001@…]

According to this page: ​https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Config.xml

mysql.txt is no longer required but mythweb still requires it.

File /usr/share/mythtv/bindings/php/MythTV.php does not look for config.xml

lines:

// List of the default locations of the config files and the one we are using
    public $ConfigFiles        = array( '/usr/local/share/mythtv/mysql.txt',
                                        '/usr/share/mythtv/mysql.txt',
                                        '/usr/local/etc/mythtv/mysql.txt',
                                        '/etc/mythtv/mysql.txt',
                                        '~/.mythtv/mysql.txt',
                                        'mysql.txt' );

Please define the problem that you're seeing. The DB access information is kept in /etc/apache2/sites.enabled similar to this:

            setenv db_server        "localhost"
            setenv db_name          "mythconverg"
            setenv db_login         "mythtv"
            setenv db_password      "yourPassword"

Ah, mythweb would not login due to an incorrect password. If I edit the apache file it works. I assert that config.xml is the correct way for mythweb to operate though. The username & password should not be stored in two different places.

So, works as designed. I am sure your patches would be reviewed.

I believe this is working as designed so closing as 'feature request without patch'.
