If the file is deleted, it will attempt to load the relevant information 
from the mysql.txt in the same folder, and generate a new file.  If both 
files are deleted, it will attempt to discover the backend using UPNP 
and query the backend for the database credentials, before falling back 
on its built in defaults.
