mediatomb fails at boot

[JohanC]

Hi,

I have upgraded my Bubba Two yesterday to version 1.3.1 and now mediatomb fails to start at boot.
The file mediatomb.log gives the following error messages:

Code: Select all

2010-03-28 16:32:23   ERROR: Could not determine interface address
2010-03-28 16:32:23   ERROR: Could not find interface: eth1

If I manually start mediatomb (from the webinterface or simply by /etc/init.d/mediatomb start) then it works fine.
If I look in daemon.log then it seems that mediatomb tried to start up before the network connection was established by dhclient (I'm running Bubba in server mode):

Code: Select all

Mar 28 16:32:23 bubba dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
Mar 28 16:32:25 bubba dhclient: DHCPOFFER from 192.168.178.1
Mar 28 16:32:25 bubba dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
Mar 28 16:32:25 bubba dhclient: DHCPACK from 192.168.178.1
Mar 28 16:32:31 bubba dhclient: bound to 192.168.178.24 -- renewal in 386830 seconds.

The order of start-up scripts in /etc/rc*.d seems to be fine (and has not changed).

Any ideas?

Regards,
Johan.

In case anybody runs into the same problem, I've found a solution here: http://mediatomb.cc/dokuwiki/faq:faq.

Simply adding the line
auto eth1
to the file /etc/network/interfaces does the trick.
