[QUOTE="doveman, post: 970182, member: 67412"] Ah, thanks. I've search for my.cnf and *.cnf though and don't appear to have one. In C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1 there is a my.ini and a few others like my-huge.ini as well. Assuming my.ini is what's used, it seems adding bind-address = 0.0.0.0 should make it available on both the external and internal/localhost address. Indeed, after adding that and restarting mysql, Comodo shows it's listening on 3306. However, XBMC still can't seem to access it. I tried changing the host in the .xml to 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.64. If I set it to localhost, XBMC can't even launch. I also tried with the password xbmc and MediaPortal. EDIT: I note that I have MySQL 5.1 installed and the XBMC guide links to 5.5 or 5.6, so perhaps I need a newer version. It seems I should be able to run two instances of MySQL in a so-called "side-by-side" config on different ports and even keep 5.1 for MP and install 5.5 to a different folder for XBMC but I'm not sure how to go about this as I've only found a linux-based guide so far [url]http://addumb.com/blog/2011/03/02/mysql-5-0-and-5-1-side-by-side/[/url] (obviously installing the software to a different folder isn't a problem, just ensuring that it uses a different data folder).
