I had my a backend and a frontend setup that worked very well, the two are connect via a wired network. I upgraded the backend to R5F27 so that I could use the new schedulesdirect guide service. Now the frontend cannot mount the NFS videos folders. I have gone though the knoppmythwiki guide for frontend install and NFS setup again, but still no luck. Does this mean the frontend must also be running RF527? Or is this some other problem?

I am running the same setup (with R5F1 on my frontends and R5F27 on the backend) and NFS connects fine. Have you changed the network items (like the bind address in mysql.txt). Are you sure the backend is actually on the network? Have you checked your exports file on the backend box?

The backend is on the network, since I can watch "recorded shows" that are on the backend from the frontend. But when I go to "watch videos" in the frontend it claims there is nothing in the video folder.
After the backend upgrade I followed these instructions from knoppmythwiki
Quote: * For R5E50 comment out (by placing # at beginning) the line specifying bind address as 127.0.0.1 (or I guess you could add the address of the new frontend, but not sure of the format). 'skip-networking' is no longer an option in /etc/mysql/my.cnf
You will also need to make sure you change the IP address in the 'General' section of mythtv-setup on the backend system. Change both instances of IP numbers from the loopback address (127.0.0.1) to the actual IP number of the backend. If you are setting this up after you have had a working backend system, remember to restart mythbackend (/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart).
Please note that I am still a linux noob and I dont know what/where the exports file is.

I am at work so cannot look at my system setup files at the moment so I am doing this from memory (bad situation given my age...)... Did you have NFS working under your prior setup? If so did you do a backup prior to the upgrade? If you did there is a file in the backup (/myth/backup/savefiles - I think) called /etc/exports that you need - it is what controls what NFS allows to be published to the network.

Are you running frontends with RE50? If so, check out this link that says they will not work together...not sure about the accuracy but I remembered reading it.

Edit:
Seems your getting some connection so that may not be it. Can you go to the videos folder within your mounted nfs directory?
For example, mine is mounted to /myth, so to see the files in the console do ctrl+x, cd the /myth/videos, and use the command "dir" to see if your videos are listed.

Acutally I just installed R5F27 on the front end in an attempt to fix this problem quickly. However I am having the same problem. This did work before the upgrade, although I also did change back to a wired network.
when I attempt to mount here is what happens
Code: root@frontend:/mnt/myth# mount 192.168.0.107:/myth /mnt/myth/
mount to NFS server '192.168.0.107' failed.
root@frontend:/mnt/myth# I have just edited /etc/exports on the backend to look like the knoppmythwiki guide Code: /myth *(rw,insecure,all_squash,anonuid=105,anongid=105)

Just to check the simple things, is NFS started?
What do the following commands do on your backend?
Code: su
/etc/init.d/nfs-common start
/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start

SOLVED. This was not a problem with upgrade/R5F27 but a problem with my ability to follow instructions. It seems I did not run the commands wmcvetty mentions above after upgrade.

Thanks for the honesty. Perhaps the people postingin KnoppMyth > Installation will following you example. I really feel like just locking the entire section.

Be sure to read on to add that to the startup process so you don't have to do it every time you reboot.
Glad I could contribute!
