Re: [Webvcrplus-disc] Clearing or editing the database

[Mike W. <mi...@ro...>]

Well as a new user of WebVCR+ that had a bit of trouble getting it all 
going :>  I'd suggest a command line script that drops the DB that 
manages the raw data in the database.  Something that can clean the 
settings, or rebuild trashed db's, or even wipe and destroy the whole 
thing.  When I was initially setting up WebVCR+ I ran into a problem 
where my copy of MySQL on Fedora Core2 would report a DB as dropped, but 
not actually remove it.  This meant that as I was trying to re-install, 
the setup.pl script would die every time it came to the database part.  
Anyway thanks for the great program, and I plan on becoming more of a 
voice in here as I get familiar with it :>
