How to configure AmahiTunes? Music is on external HD.

I want AmahiTunes to point to a folder on an external hd instead of the default /var/hda/files/movies. I already have this changed on my hda's shares, I just need AmahiTunes to look there. Any suggestions?

by the way, I installed AmahiTunes manually, following the instructions in this post:

You can still install AmahiTunes (though without the web user interface) by providing this yum install command:
Code:
yum -y install amahi-tunes
If you want to run it by hand, here is the default amahi configuration for AmahiTunes is:
Code:
web_root /usr/share/mt-daapd/admin-root
port 3689
admin_pw mt-daapd
db_dir /var/cache/mt-daapd
mp3_dir /var/hda/files/music
servername AmahiTunes
runas mt-daapd
extensions .mp3,.m4a,.m4p,.ogg,.flac
logfile /var/log/mt-daapd.log
rescan_interval 600
scan_type 1

So how do I change this configuration without the web app?

Okay, now I found the link to access the settings from a browser:
http://hda:3689/config.html
However, it won't let me edit any of the fields.

nice! I changed the location of the mp3 folder in this file and now my itunes is detecting my music library! Awesome. (It didn't happen immediately- I'm a total linux noob, so I didn't even know how to stop/restart amahitunes, but I guess it just worked itself out somehow.)
Problem solved.

If you dump a great number of files into the music folder it may take a while for the automatic rescan to see them all. You can force a database rebuild by removing the songs folder then restarting the server.
typical location of songs db.
then restart the server.
BTW Thanks to the dev team for re adding this to the apps list. Best service on my HDA.
7764 songs and adding..
