[Solved] Persistence url keeps changing

Is this saved somewhere else as well or where is it coming from?

Maybe this will help:

MQTT config under OH2

@Rob_Pope I had a similar problem in the past… It was due to OpenHab 2 loading up the default mqtt.cfg config file (with the sample <broker> name)… it was my mistake since I removed the comments from the lines without adjusting the broker name… After I fixed the mistake, the <broker> info still remained (as a second broker) in OH2 “internal database” (I don’t know how to call it :)) and was causing errors because all other parameters for <broker> were null. Try to check with the Karaf Console …

Check in karaf if there is any stable config parameters for mysql & jdbc

config:list "(service.pid=org.openhab.mysql)"
config:list "(service.pid=org.openhab.jdbc)"

If there are wrong stuff there, delete the stored config:

config:delete org.openhab.mysql
config:delete org.openhab.jdbc

Fix your .config and .persist files and let OH2 re-read them to populate the stored configs.

Oops… I missed that part:

@DanielMalmgren

when I look in the config files the url is changed back

You mean that your /etc/openhab2/services/mysql.cfg file is being updated by OH2? (this shouldn’t happen…)
