Firefly on NAS?

[Anonymous]

Hi all!
I finally got time to sit down and try to fix my NAS.
It seems that everything worked fine, exept that Idon’t
seem to get the Firefly running.
Do I have to include som startscript in the header for making the Firefly run?
The response when trying the “ps -ef | grep mt-daapd” command is this:
“root 892 886 0 18:41 pts/0 00:00:00 grep mt-daapd”
Do I have to copy the “S99firefly” script anywhere exept at the “/etc/init.d”
and where to if so…

thnx!

Try to run the binary manually first.
Make sure you have set execute permissions (chmod 755) to mt-daapd.

Then check the paths in the init script, make that executeable as well (chmod 755) and try to give it a go.

Make sure to monitor the log! 😉

Hey Fizze!
Well, sorry for my unknowledge, but how do I do that?

Locate the binary, usually its in /opt/bin or /usr/bin, called mt-daapd.
then try to execute it. 😉

If that fails, please post the output of

ls -al mt-daapd

when you’re in that directory. Chances are you dont have execute permissions set.

Hi!
I tried the above, but with this result:
“./mt-daapd
Error reading config file (/usr/local/etc/mt-daapd.conf)”
But I do see the mt-daap file there…

What exactly is the command that you used when you tried to run mt-daapd?

If you run it maunally mt-daapd expects a single parameter, the location of the config file.

So if your config file is in /usr/local/etc/mt-daapd.conf this should be like:

mt-daapd -c /usr/local/etc/mt-daapd.conf

If you did it like that, then probably your config-file isnt world-readable.
try this:

chmod 755 /usr/local/etc/mt-daapd.conf

(This isnt 100% water-proof, from a security point of view, but it should do for testing some stuff on a local NAS)

OK, so I finally got execute permission and got it to accept the command:
“./mt-daapd.conf -c /etc/mt-daapd.conf”
But all I get in response is:

./mt-daapd.conf: line 13: [general]: command not found
./mt-daapd.conf: line 27: web_root: command not found
./mt-daapd.conf: line 36: port: command not found

You need to run

./mt-daapd -c /etc/mt-daapd.conf

Hmmmm…. I just don’t get it Sorry!
But both files mt-daapd and mt-daapd.conf is in the etc directory, but
I get this message when I try your code:
./mt-daapd -c /etc/mt-daapd.conf
bash: ./mt-daapd: No such file or directory

Confused!!
