problem with mythtv after upgrade port 6543 connection refused

Hi all,

I am having a problem with mythtv after upgrading to karmic and 0.22
and am trying to diagnose the issue.

Some time after startup, mythtv stops responding on port 6543

This is what I see running

phil 31842 31841 0 10:44 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh -c nice
/usr/bin/mythfilldatabase --graboptions '--daily'
phil 31843 31842 0 10:44 ? 00:00:00
/usr/bin/mythfilldatabase --graboptions --daily
phil 31854 31843 0 10:44 ? 00:00:00 sh -c nice tv_grab_au
--config-file '/data/home/phil/.mythtv/FreeView.xmltv' --output
/tmp/mythgnoUuo --quiet --daily
phil 31855 31854 6 10:44 ? 00:00:18 /usr/bin/perl -w
/usr/bin/tv_grab_au --config-file
/data/home/phil/.mythtv/FreeView.xmltv --output /tmp/mythgnoUuo
--quiet --daily
mythtv 32352 1 0 10:48 ? 00:00:00 /bin/su -c
/usr/bin/mythbackend --logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log mythtv
mythtv 32367 32352 0 10:48 ? 00:00:00 sh -c
/usr/bin/mythbackend --logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
mythtv 32368 32367 12 10:48 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/mythbackend
--logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log

but port 6543 is not running

root[at]romeo:/etc/default# telnet localhost 6543
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

restarting myth does not resolve the issue. I had to reboot last time.
The logfile shows nothing out of the ordinary but I have default
logging at the moment.

Any suggestions as to where to start looking?

Phil

Hmmm

I think my setup is permanently broken. Just rebooted and had it not
work afterwards...

Are you sure it was listing on 127.0.0.1 and not the external ip address?

Yes,

It will not respond to any of the IP addresses. netstat -an | grep
LISTEN | grep 6543 returns nothing

Some further insight. I dumped the database and created one from
scratch and things started working again....

I am going to attempt to upgrade my old database again and see if I
get it working.

Just performed an upgrade of my 0.21 database and had the same problem
afterwards.
