Suddenly stuck on "migrating database" on boot
Posted: 20 Mar 2017, 10:24
Hi!
I've had a mysql database library running flawlessly since before MrMC and upgraded all clients to MrMC v 3+ (and therefore also migrated dB to Kodi 17) and everything still worked.
Then I moved everything to a new server, changed ip in the clients, all still good.
However, this weekend I thought I'd secure the new server a bit so I played with iptables and fail2ban.
Now I get the "migrating database" screen on boot and no chance to read any logs or do anything at all.
I'm guessing that the server refuses connection to non localhost attempts even though I can't find any entries
in any logs?
Here's my iptables -S with fail2ban stopped.
(I'm on Raspbian jessie on a Pi 3)
Here's hoping some of you have a better grasp on these things as I'm pretty new on using Linux and doing this whole thing as a learning experience.
EDIT:
In my haste to post something I forgot why I bothered you with this information in the first place:
I think it would be very useful with a timeout for on-boot loading of mysql-database with a cancel-button which takes you to homescreen so you can edit settings and read logs etc.
EDIT 2:
I flushed the iptables and now it works so obviously I'd made some worthless shit in there.
I still think it'd be really useful though for troubleshooting with a timeout for unresponsiveness with a cancel-button and some kind of error message.
Over and out.
