MPD won't start. [Solved]

When I try to start MPD it always fail, and I really don't know why. I think this is the only thing I can show you:

[root@matrix ~]# mpd
unable to bind port 6600, maybe MPD is still running?
error binding port

What does that mean?

Re: MPD won't start. [Solved]

is the deamon running?

/etc/rc.d/mpd start

if you follow the wiki to the letter then, it should work no problems...

try restart...

/etc/rc.d/mpd restart...

have you gone through the config in /etc/mpd.conf  ?
