[Voyage-linux] Problems getting MPD to work on Alix Board

[Ian Westlake]

Hi

I can't get MPD to create a database file and so GMPC does not see any of my 
FLAC files. I have been trying to get this to work for the last 5 days and have 
done a lot of Googling to find an answer. However all the solutions appear to 
involve setting permissions correctly and I have followed all the advice found, 
but I still can get MPD to create a database.

My setup is as follows:

File server running Debian Lenny (latest stable release)
Alix board running Voyage-MPD with latest release of operating system
GMPC media player.

I have the Alix board directly wired to the file server with a crossover cable 
and I have set the network up so that the Alix and the File server can see each 
other. I am able to SSH into the Alix board from the file server and edit the 
Voyage files.

NFS is setup on both the Alix board and the Fileserver; The Alix board has my 
Music folder on the file server mounted at /mnt/nfs. If I do ls -l in the 
/mnt/nfs directory I can see all the directorys I've created on the file server, 
and I can create and delete files on this mounted file system.

On my file server I have created the following directorys: mpd_music (where I 
store my FLAC files) and MPD.

I have configured MPD.Conf as follows:

music_directory         "/mnt/nfs/mpd_music"
playlist_directory      "/mnt/nfs/mpd/playlists"
db_file                 "/mnt/nfs/mpd/tag_cache"
log_file                "/mnt/nfs/mpd/mpd.log"
pid_file                "/mnt/nfs/mpd/pid"

/home directory on the file server has permissions set at 777.

My user directory (/home/westers) has permissions set at 777.

/home/westers/music has permissions set at 777.

/home/westers/music/mpd_music and /home/westers/music/mpd have permissions set 
at 777.

I added a FLAC file to my /home/westers/music/mpd_music directory and restarted 
MPD on the Alix system, but the database did not add my FLAC files to it.

I do not know what to do next and would like help to fix this.

Thanks
