Couldn’t lookup user = Nobody on FC5

[Wuertele]

I built svn-1206 on FC5 thusly:

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-sqlite3

make install

Here’s my config file:

web_root	/usr/share/mt-daapd/admin-root

port = 3689

admin_pw = blahblah

db_type = sqlite3

db_parms = /var/cache/mt-daapd

mp3_dir = /home/share

servername = Dave's mt-daapd

runas = nobody

playlist = /etc/mt-daapd.playlist

extensions = .mp3,.m4a,.m4p,.wav,.flac

ssc_codectypes = ogg,flac,alac

ssc_prog = /usr/bin/mt-daapd-ssc.sh

logfile = /var/log/mt-daapd.log

process_m3u = 1

scan_type = 2

I ran mt-daapd like so:

# /usr/sbin/mt-daapd -f

setting dest to 1

setting dest to 5

Starting with debuglevel 1

Starting rendezvous daemon

Couldn't lookup user = nobody

Couldn't lookup user = nobody

Error in drop_privs: Success

Aborting

# 

Ack! Do I have a nobody?

# grep nobody /etc/passwd

nobody:x:99:99:Nobody:/:/sbin/nologin

Of course I do. What is the real problem here?

you are missing the section header:

[general]

web_root	/usr/share/mt-daapd/admin-root

port = 3689

admin_pw = blahblah

...

Don’t forget the [general] section header. Also, you are missing the = after web_root.
