Hi

I just installed Amarok 2.2 sucessfully on OpenSuse 11.2 RC1. After I saw the the option to use a external MySql-Database I wanted to use this feature.

So before I loaded my collection the first time, I created a database and user in mysql, assigned all priviliges and after that configured Amarok to make use of it.

To be sure I restated Amarok afterwards and loaded my collection. Musik works fine but obviously mysql isnt used at all because when I open the query-browser, there are no tables nor anything else in the amarok-database. Amarok itself didnt show me any error that it couldnt make use of mysql.

Does anyone has an idea what could be wrong here?

Thanks

Are you sure, you're using the external mysql database, not the embedded one?
Take a look into .kde4/share/apps/amarok/. Does it contain a folder called mysqle, which contains a folder called amarok with the tables in it?
If yes, move it out of the way and start amarok with -d parameter from console.
In the configuration dialog, the option to use an external db is checked? (I know, I know, just to be sure)
mysqld is running?

Hi

I just figured it out myself. My grants were only working for @% and this is not enough. So Amarok used the embedded one (would be nice if the programm would display a message if something isnt correct).

So what I did to fix it, was just adding the host @localhost in the mysql administrator tool (I am not a commandline guy ) and the apply the grants there as well. After that I went back to Amarok I applied the settings again and checked the database-schema...now the tables had been created.
