Debian Etch and 1586

I’m assuming this is user error, but I still can’t get it up and running. I try to restart mt-daapd after changing the mp3_dir and I get:

server:/home/robby# /etc/init.d/mt-daapd restart

Restarting mt-daapd: mt-daapd: client.c:776: avahi_client_errno: Assertion `client' failed.

/etc/init.d/mt-daapd: line 27:  4963 Aborted                 start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid --exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS

Ideas?

Thanks for your help,
Robert

Avahi isn’t running.

A nicer error message would be good, but that’s the problem. 🙂 Edit your /etc/default/avahi-server (?) and flip the setting to make it start at boot.

I get the same error, while avahi daemon is running:

[~]$ sudo service mt-daapd start

Starting DAAP servermt-daapd: client.c:776: avahi_client_errno: Assertion `client' failed.

/bin/bash: line 1:  5290 Aborted                 /usr/sbin/mt-daapd

[~]$ sudo service avahi-daemon status

Avahi daemon is running

But then, I do get errors if I try to restart avahi:

[tim@servy ~]$ sudo service avahi-daemon restart

Shutting down Avahi daemon:                                [  OK  ]

/var/log/messages indicates something about what happened:

avahi-daemon[5423]: WARNING: Failed to contact D-Bus daemon.

But I’m not sure how to proceed. SELinux has been in permissive mode the whole time and I thought that would be enough. Any ideas?

BTW, Mt-daapd runs fine from command line (with or without -f option), but when I start as a service I always get the avahi error and mt-daapd aborts.

Mt-daapd used to daemonize just fine but I recently upgraded from Fedora Core 8 to FC10. I haven’t been using the daapd server for a while, and it turned out I had a corrupt db. I just ran mt-daapd from command line with max logging -d 9 and watched it rebuild the db, then successfully tested the web server and connection/streaming from an iTunes client. Now I just need to get it to start as a service again…

Any ideas? Thanks!
