Hi Board,
I am trying to set up mt-daapd on a NSLU2. I have installed the packet using ipkg install.
(I have just bought the NSLU2, so I do not know my way around it very well. I have unslung it to an USB-disk on Port2, following the instructions on nslu2-linux.org and installed a few packages, ssh, bash etc…)
I can start the server and see it using itunes on my Mac. However I have two problems:
1) MP3s cannot be scanned: mt-daapd is dropping privileges to guest as expected.
MP3-Path is /share/hdd/data/public/mp3/ all directories in path are 755. I have now chmoded the mp3-files 777 and(!) chowned them to guest.
No luck (running daapd -f -c9):
Error statting: Permission denied
Found /share/hdd/data/public/mp3/alphaville-sensations.mp3
I can find no good description which files mt-daapd will need and what permissions they need to have….
2) I can not login via webmin-interface.
A server is running on port 3689, it answers an prompts me for a password, but what user-name do i need to log in? I tried admin, root, guest and used the password I set in the -conf as admin_pw.debug output shows it is the correct password:

SueI just went through this process myself as a totally non-Linux person. I had some challenges as the setup process for mt-daapd is slightly different from the documentation with the new recommended unslung process to Disk2 for a single USB drive. I tried to document what needs to be changed in this thread: http://forums.fireflymediaserver.org/viewtopic.php?t=4646&start=15
I would recommend trying to change as few things as possible until you get it running. Following the information in the above thread should allow you to get mt-daapd running. Once you have it running, then you can start changing things. Just my 2-cents.
Well I got it working 😆 now.
Problem 1: I was lying.
Taking a closer look at the filesystem, permissions of …/public were wrong (I chowned it to 755 instead of chmodding it 😳 )
Totally my mistake. I apologize for wasting people´s time.Problem 2:
Also my mistake, but worth a note: whitespaces after a value will not be stripped when key/value-pairs are loaded from the .conf, therefore “password” and “password ” are not the same. This is easy to miss, if you do not expect this behaviour…Thanks for replying
