Firefly won’t start (core dump)

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I’m a bit new to this but have managed to compile and install the 1696 version on my Ubuntu machine (7.10)

Now I’m having trouble getting it to run, I get this:

I guess the error has something to do with the plugin, but how do I fix it?

Many thanks,

Fixed it 🙂

I think it was file permissions problems, I was starting mt-daapd using the non-root (-y) option.

I’m now having trouble getting the init.d/mt-daapd script to start and stop the server, but I think I know what’s up!

simply running the following commands should run and stop mt-daapd/firefly:

sudo /etc/init.d/mt-daapd start
sudo /etc/init.d/mt-daapd stop

Check if it’s running with “ps -aux” command.
If the process is active, but you can’t access the webadmin or the server, it is probably scanning the music dir to create the database.
