I’m running the latest nightly build (1340) on a Buffalo Linkstation, and I’d like to run multiple instances.
I’ve seen a few comments that this should be possible.
I’ve got multiple mt-daapd.conf scripts, each of which refers to a different db_params directory, they have port numbers 1 apart and each has a different server name.
I can start each one individually fine with the relevant -c option. iTunes and my Soundbridge see this 1 instance, and it seems to contain all the files i’d expect.
However, if I start a second instance with the different conf file, it doesn’t appear to start correctly. I can see it’s web page using the different port number, however it doesn’t report any uptime or songs or clients, and the configuration page is blank. Also iTunes/Soundbridge don’t see the library. looking at the log file with -d9 I see;

This suggests to me that the problem is that I can’t have 2 instances from the same IP address. Is this correct? If so, is it possible to run 2 instances at all? The original library continues to run fine while whichever one starts second always fails.
You can assign more than one ip address to your NIC so it might be worth going down that route.

Nope, will work fine. make sure you have different paths (db_parms), different ports (port), and different server names (servername). You can use the same admin_root, though.
You’ll need (obviously) two different config files, and you’ll need to run the second with a -c parameter pointing to the second config file.
If you can’t get it to go, post your two config files.

— RonI believe I’ve got all this. I’ll post the config files when I get home tonight.
One thought though – the server names both start with Firefly and have spaces in them – could there be an issue with this? (eg. Firefly Albums and Firefly Comedy)
Ok – I still can’t get this to work. 2 Config files below (comments and whitespace removed for the purpose of the post).
I start mt-daapd with the following command line;
/usr/local/sbin/mt-daapd -c /usr/local/etc/mt-daapd.comedy.conf
followed by
/usr/local/sbin/mt-daapd -c /usr/local/etc/mt-daapd.classical.confThe first library (whichever I start first) works fine. The second one has the following behaviour;
– web interface loads
– web interface shows bonjour service is running (I don’t believe it)
– web interface shows the media server is running
– uptime blank
– songs blank
– clients blank
– configuration page blank
– iTunes doesn’t see second server
Can anybody tell me what I’m doing wrong?Thanks!

This looks good. Did you try running each of them with -d9 -f? That might show enough debugging into to see what’s up.
Meanwhile, I’ll see if I can get it to do the same thing on my linkstation.

— RonI got some logs from running with -d9. Is there somewhere I can send them – they’re a couple of hundred kB each. I can’t spot anything obvious in them, but I don’t know what I’m looking for!
I still can’t get multiple instances to work. The second instance appears to die somewhere inside the rendezvous initialisation and never return. The second instance I start gets this far…

Ah – sorted it! Need to compile firefly with Howl, whatever that is… Seems to work now

Seems to be that howl isn’t running properly. In the log I see;
