AmahiTunes server stopped - will not restart??

Postby hfxrzw » Sat May 08, 2010 6:38 am

Hi, in the control panel for servers it shows that the server has stopped and using the restart function doesn't work. Where do I start to look?

in /var/log/monit and also also:

Code: Select all

service mt-daapd restart
and look for errors in /var/log/messages as well.

I'm having a similar problem. AmahiTunes stops some time after starting. The Monit file shows this as the last entry
monit: Error reading pid from file '/var/run/mt-daapd.pid'
Any help gratefully appreciated. I am able to restart the service but it tends to stop soon afterwards.

No errors at all in the messages file, however after looking in the mt-daapd.log file I found this entry (several times)
2010-05-13 18:18:35: Short file: /var/hda/files/music/Music_2009/Simpson_sounds/heehee.mp3
2010-05-13 18:18:35: Short file: /var/hda/files/music/Music_2009/Simpson_sounds/m64slice.mp3

I think I might delete that sound folder and see what happens.
OK So as a bit of an update, after moving the offending files I now get this cycle of messages every 30 second basically

the PID is stuck for this app. it's actually running one instance.

Code: Select all

rm /var/run/mt-daapd.pid && killall mt-daapd
This is a bug. It would be good if you could file one (bugs.amahi.org > projects > apps > new-issue).

Thanks for the help. This seems to have kickstarted the server again. I will log the issue as suggested.
