Hi, im going crazy

I've got It working OK, some fine tuning left. Now I can stream from my PS3 and dreambox-recordings.
But can someone help me with this:

How do I start/stop mediatomb manually?
I've tried # /etc/init.d/mediatomb start: "Starting upnp media server: mediatomb failed!"
and # /etc/init.d/mediatomb stop : "mediatomb* upnp media server 'mediatomb' was already stopped"

So i'm guessing that this isn't the mediatombfiles that I'm running.

And

Where is the database-file that I need to delete in order to rebuild with the new setings in config.xml? Cant find sqlite3.db..

Hi Gunnarsson,

I assume that you run these command as the user root? Then i suspect that something in the config file prohibits it from starting correctly.

Could you take a look at the log file: /var/log/mediatomb.log and see if there is anything suspicious.

Regarding the database, its stored in MySQL on BubbaTwo. And you should really not have to do anything with it as long as the only changes are regarding streaming.

Hello

You were correct. I'd made som changes that wasn't ok. Changed them and its up and running again.
The strange thing I is why does mediatomb start when i write "# mediatomb"?

But thanks Tor!

Hi,

If you run directly on the command line it should start. But then it uses a generated config and a database stored in /home/"username"/.mediatomb

Exactly how are you trying to start it in these cases?
