[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 988306, member: 82144"] Hello again Josh I have to admit that I'm struggling to follow here... If that is the case, why did your gentle.config file not have the port specified in it? TV Server configuration == SetupTv.exe I'm confused! :confused: The DB connection window should only popup when SetupTv.exe is run with the /configure-db switch. Normally the /configure-db switch is only used for the first-run after installation. The purpose of the DB popup is to create the gentle.config file, setup the Windows service dependencies for TVService.exe, and create the database. After initial run, the /configure-db switch should not be used except in exceptional cases. Normally when SetupTv.exe is started it simply checks that it can connect to the DB. If it can't connect it assumes that you have changed DB or DB configuration, so the DB connection window is shown again. The MySQL service name is not stored in the TV Server database or gentle.config file as it is totally irrelevant for the purposes of connecting to the database. You're not always running SetupTv.exe with the /configure-db switch, are you? Could you please post your tv.log and error.log file: 1. Open TV Server configuration. 2. Click "open log directory" in the top left corner. 3. Zip up the appropriate files and attach/post. Please also post some screenshots to show exactly what you're doing and what SetupTv.exe is doing.
