[QUOTE="PeaBee, post: 1110048, member: 150145"] Hum. I uninstalled MySQL at the same time for good measure and selected the 2nd uninstall option for MediaPortal in a vain attempt to clean everything out. Anyway, you put me on the right track! Thanks very much. For the sake of anyone that has stumbled on this, this is what I had to do (I found the posted instructions assume you can manage MySQL without going into too much detail)... Assuming defaults are in place. Find folder with MySQL.exe and change to it (running command prompt as Administrator I guess). Run: [B]MYSQL --user=root --password=MediaPortal MpTvDb[/B] From the MYSQL prompt run: [B]UPDATE server SET hostname = '[/B]NEW_NAME[B]'[/B] [B]WHERE hostname = '[/B]OLD_NAME[B]' \g [/B] Changes just one row. Quit out (\q) and all will be well again! [/QUOTE]
