web interface access?

[don quixada]

I built the second-latest nightly-build (1586) from the source and installed on my Gentoo box. It works fine and I can even stream oggs and flacs. However, I cannot access the web interface. I’m not sure if it’s the login info that’s wrong or if I need to build it into the program.

I get an 404 error message when I try to access. Do I need to enable a build flag? If so, what is it?

Or is my login information wrong?

I set a password in the mt-daapd.conf file but I couldn’t see a direct reference to a username. I’ve tried ‘admin’, ‘root’, ‘admin-root’ nothing seemed to work. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

dq

EDIT:

The error message looks like this:

Not found

Error 404

mt-daapd: svn-1586

Error: No such file or directory

The username doesn’t matter (right now), just the password.

As far as the error goes, check the web_root directive in the config file, and make sure that:

1. It points to a directory that exists and has the firefly web pages in it.
2. The files there are world-readable

Also, you might verify that you did your “make; make install” from the mt-daapd directory, not the “src” directory under it — that would fail to install the admin web pages.

Ok, I pointed it to the right directory. And the files are world-readable (chmod a+r *). But I still cannot access the web interface i.e., I get the same 404 error message.

Does this have something to do with the fact that it takes me several attempts to connect to the server with my Soundbridge before I finally connect?

Thanks.

Ok, I fixed the problem. I was editing the wrong .conf file! Is there a way to change it from reading /usr/share/etc/local/mt-daapd.conf to read just /etc/mt-daapd.conf? I suspect enable=/usr might do it, is this correct?

–prefix=/usr

from the ./configure invocation is what you are looking for, I think.
