LAMP Installation = broken mpd
I installed Apache, MySQL, PHP and PHPMyAdmin yesterday in preparation for a project I'll be doing for someone, and now mpd won't start as a daemon; reinstallation didn't help either. Any ideas? Is there some log file I can check to see why it won't start? I tried starting it when httpd wasn't running to see if there's some problem there, but mpd still wouldn't start.

Re: LAMP Installation = broken mpd
Log files are in /var/log/httpd/, you should check at least error_log
LAMP works for me, so it may be a configuration issue.

Umm.. well I know where the log files are for apache, but they're unlikely to help me fix mpd 
I found the .error and .log files for mpd, they're in $HOME/.mpd/ , but they're both empty! This is really frustrating.. what the hell can it be? mpd was fine yesterday.. it connects on the default port, 6600, is it possible that one of the LAMP pieces of software is interfering with this? Yet if that were the case, surely me stopping all the LAMP-related daemons would allow me to start mpd...
The only other thing I've change since yesterday is my /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost kaminoitteThat's fine though, isn't it?
Gaargh, this is doing my head in :evil:
EDIT: Aah.. it might be a groups problem.. maybe. I've got it in my mpd.conf to run under user 'dave', but I accidentally used 'useradd' instead of 'usermod' yesterday when adding myself to the mysql group I made, so I may be missing from one of the necessary groups. I added myself back to optical and video yesterday.. would someone using mpd be good enough to post 'grep [mpd_username] /etc/groups' for me?
EDIT2 (1 minute later): Hehe, I just noticed I didn't add myself back to 'audio'... what a muppet. Problem solved! XD
