Have you tried this way:

?

Regarded to bind there is a line in mpd.conf that is related to that. I think there is no need to uncomment it.
Regarded do the errors of database and pid file is simple because you don't have permissions to write. You have 2 options. Or change the permisson of the folder or simple create a folder called mpd for example in your home and save those files there. Log, pid file and etc. Regarded to database mpd ---create-db is not needed since mpd 0.16. The database will be created automatically.

Please read the wiki carefully, it's all in there:

ok I read the wiki, but doesn't seem to do much help. I get as far as the create files step, and then when I try and run 'mpc update', it just says connection refused. when I try and start mpd, I get a similar error:

@ilusi0n- ok, so there's no need to uncomment it? it was never uncommented in the first place. and how can I have no permissions when it's running as root?

Try to put this --

mpd: ALL

-- to you /etc/hosts.allow.

doesn't seem to help

Well, the last thing I can think about is to set up mpd locally, not as a root but a regular user. BTW, may I see your mpd.conf?

lives2evil · 2011-03-25 23:04:32

I suppose you have this line in your mpd.conf

user                  "mpd"

If so try these commands as root:

chown -R mpd:users /var/lib/mpd
chown -R mpd:users /var/run/mpd
