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.<br><br>My setup is as follows:<br><br>File server running Debian Lenny (latest stable release)<br>Alix board running Voyage-MPD with latest release of operating system<br>GMPC media player.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>On my file server I have created the following directorys: mpd_music (where I store my FLAC files) and MPD.<br><br>I have configured MPD.Conf as follows:<br><br><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">music_directory "/mnt/nfs/mpd_music"</span><br><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">playlist_directory "/mnt/nfs/mpd/playlists"</span><br><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">db_file "/mnt/nfs/mpd/tag_cache"</span><br><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">log_file "/mnt/nfs/mpd/mpd.log"</span><br><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0,
0);">pid_file "/mnt/nfs/mpd/pid"</span></span><br><br>/home directory on the file server has permissions set at 777.<br><br>My user directory (/home/westers) has permissions set at 777.<br><br>/home/westers/music has permissions set at 777.<br><br>/home/westers/music/mpd_music and /home/westers/music/mpd have permissions set at 777.<br><br>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.<br><br>I do not know what to do next and would like help to fix this.<br><br>Thanks<br><br></div>
