[QUOTE="longest_day_ever, post: 1148721, member: 154340"] Okay, I've installed/uninstalled MediaPortal, Mysql 5.6, Microsoft SQL 2005 (as an alternative) at least 20 TIMES yesterday. I kept getting the error that hostname didn't exist. I read something online about only using the One Click option but first uninstalling Mysql and the subsequent folders (found via computer search) and either running MediaPortal again or reinstalling Mysql. I did both many times. Still the SAME error. So, at this point I don't want to be bothered with One click. I want to run Mysql 5.6 and set up the hostname etc according to MediaPortal specifications if at all heavenly possible. Ok, so could someone give a newb step by step instructions for setting up for Mysql 5.6. for mediaportal so that when I run that test I'll pass and get MP up and running? Step by Step from scratch., for example: #1. Use the Mysql installer #2. When asked what folder to use - chose x and name it xyz. I've installed numerous programs... side hacked my Fire TV ... built a computer from scratch; NOTHING has been as frustrating as this. [/QUOTE]
