That’s it. Have you tried the latest nightly at http://nightlies.mt-daapd.org? I have a feisty package there that’s build specifically for avahi, rather than with howl compat libs.

regarding permissions, do you mean on the file as such? If so, they look like this now:


tefan@server:/storage$ ls -la /var/cache/mt-daapd
total 4124
drwxrwxr-x 2 mt-daapd root 4096 2007-06-20 19:37 .
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 2007-06-15 20:45 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 mt-daapd nogroup 4210688 2007-06-20 19:37 songs3.db
stefan@server:/storage$ ls -la /var/cache/mt-daapd/
total 4124
drwxrwxr-x 2 mt-daapd root 4096 2007-06-20 19:37 .
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 2007-06-15 20:45 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 mt-daapd nogroup 4210688 2007-06-20 19:37 songs3.db
stefan@server:/storage$ ls -la /var/cache/mt-daapd/*
-rw-r--r-- 1 mt-daapd nogroup 4210688 2007-06-20 19:37 /var/cache/mt-daapd/songs3.db
stefan@server:/storage$

that’s good. Sometimes root ends up owning the db, and then it won’t start as a daemon anymore.
