[SOLVED]MPD fails if started from rc.conf, runs OK if started after...

Hello,

in my rc.conf I have:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng @network @netfs @crond @oss @mysqld @hal @cups @vmware mpd @samba @sshd @noip mpdscribble )

But, when booting up my system, I get that mpd failed to launch. However, if I log-in and start up mpd manually (/etc/rc.d/mpd start) it works OK. There is no error message in the mpd log.

My mpd.conf is:

music_directory                 "/home/renan/Músicas"
playlist_directory              "/home/renan/.mpd/playlists"
db_file                         "/home/renan/.mpd/mpd.db"
log_file                        "/home/renan/.mpd/mpd.log"
error_file                      "/home/renan/.mpd/mpd.error"
state_file                      "~/.mpd/mpdstate"
user                            "renan"
bind_to_address                 "127.0.0.1"
audio_output {
        type                    "oss"
        name                    "My OSS Device"
}
max_playlist_length             "32768"

Any hints?

Thanks.

You're probably starting mpd before network and oss have finished starting. Don't background so many daemons, you can't predict their loading order.

Un-backgrounding some daemons fixes the problem. This is my current DAEMONS line in rc.conf:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network @netfs @crond oss @mysqld @hal @cups @vmware mpd @samba @sshd @noip mpdscribble )

Please mark the thread as solved.
