Hello,
I’ve just installed from tarball without –prefix=/usr, and used the default location. I’ve checked that /usr/local/share/mt-daapd/admin-root contains the web files.When I try and start the server, I get:
Invalid web_root
Error reading config file (/etc/mt-daapd.conf)Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric13/12/2008 at 5:57 AM #18201evandenaParticipantAnyone able to offer a suggestion?
13/12/2008 at 8:30 AM #18200fizzeParticipantWhats the relevant line in your config file?
What are the permissions of the webroot?
What user do you run mt-daapd as?13/12/2008 at 6:44 PM #18202evandenaParticipantThanks for the reply.
I’ve tried various settings to get it to to work, but am always presented with the same error.
The webroot line from the config is:
web_root /usr/local/share/mt-daapd/admin-rootI’ve tried running as root, a service account, nobody. I’ve also tried a slew of permissions on admin-root.
What exactly is required? What permissions etc work for everyone else?
13/12/2008 at 7:29 PM #18203fizzeParticipantyou’re missing an equals sign 😉
it should read:web_root = /usr/local/share/mt-daapd/admin-root
Well, my admin-root is owned by root and is world readable for instance.
13/12/2008 at 7:53 PM #18204evandenaParticipantThat’s strange about the = sign.
I added the = sign like you suggested, but it still says:
Invalid web_root
Error reading config file (/etc/mt-daapd.conf)There are no other = signs in my config… all I did was edit the default config, which uses tabs and not equal signs.
13/12/2008 at 8:49 PM #18205fizzeParticipantOnly in 0.2.4 you don’t need the tabs. In the recent nightly builds you need the equal signs.
Did you grab the source off nightlies.fireflymediaserver.org ?
🙄Which version is it, anyway?
14/12/2008 at 3:03 AM #18206evandenaParticipantI have 2.4.2, build from source on CentOS 5.2
14/12/2008 at 10:44 AM #18207fizzeParticipantMay I humbly suggest that you grab one of the nightlies from the aforementioned page.
the 0.2.4 branch is ridiculously outdated.
Despite them being called nightly builds, they are actually very stable, and boast a lot more features and performance than 0.2.4.x.14/12/2008 at 1:25 PM #18208evandenaParticipant@fizze wrote:
