[ATrpms-users] Mythbackend will not start after upgrade to Mythtv ver 174

[Ben Caldwell]

I just fixed this myself last night, the problem here seems to be that an
export command must not have the $ before the variable (this is from my own
experiences with Fedora 8, not sure if this is distro specific).

The fix:  in /etc/init.d/mythbackend find the part that says "export $HOME"
and change to "export HOME". Check that there aren't any other export
commands in this file that need the same change.

Regards,

Ben Caldwell
