Hi;

 From MySQL, try: show databases;

Expect to see 2:

   information_schema
   mythconverg

Then from your shell, sudo -i

   cd /var/lib/mysql/mythconverg
   ls weather*
   control-d

Expect 3:

   weatherdatalayout.frm  weatherscreens.frm  weathersourcesettings.frm

Could there be an errant mythconverg subdirectory?

Bill
