Re: how to config mpd

Looks like something is already on port 6600. Are you sure MPD isn't already running?

Re: how to config mpd

In that case, try specifying a different port to listen on in the config file.

Re: how to config mpd

You should take a look and see what is listening @ 6600.  Run the following as root:

netstat -lnptu

You can post the output here if you wish.

Re: how to config mpd

How about a:
killall mpd
? If it wasn't running already then it will let you know.

Re: how to config mpd

Hi All-
Thanks to japetto and Samc for posting a reply to this question and solving my problem, which was that the mpd daemon was already running on 6600.  So I killed it, then ran #mpd --create-db  *worked like a charm*
