[Voyage-linux] RE: mpd.conf opens as 'read only' - can't be edited

[kman]

Ok, I'm definitely 'learning'. After my last post, I changed the file ownership back to 'root'. Then, I issued 'sudo vi mpd.conf' and the file opened read/write. Problem solved. Thanks again for your help and time Robert.

The output of "ls -l mpd.conf" might be interesting. Try running "chmod +w mpd.conf"?
