Not finding any song files on Kurobox install

Using Kurobox-HG.

My OS is the so-called “Sylver” 2.6 version, apparently based on Debian.

I attempted the make of the latest svn-1489 and encountered some header file issues (I’ll post another thread on that).

Meanwhile, back on this 2005 version of mt-daapd included with Sylver, I’m not getting any songs added to the data base. I’ve copied a bunch of mp3’s into the /mnt/itunes folder, and pressed the scan button a few times. I’m guessing that what’s going on is that my database app isn’t running but I don’t know how to fire it up properly I guess.

Here’s my ps -aux:

[root@KURO-BOX:~]$ ps -aux
Bad syntax, perhaps a bogus ‘-‘?

And the important parts of my mt-daapd.conf:

web_root /usr/share/mt-daapd/admin-root
port 3689
admin_pw mt-daapd
db_dir /var/cache/mt-daapd
mp3_dir /mnt/itunes

Web interface runs.
songs.db exists in /var/cache/mt-daapd.
Playlist file does not exist.
logfile exists, here’s mostly what it consists of:

Roku SoundBridge and iTunes on my PC both recognize the Kurobox as a server but no songs!!!

So, what should I do next?
