So I > checked the /run/ directory and saw that there wasn't a 'mpd' subdir. no, the connection is refused because the port is not open because MPD isn't running as it failed to start. That's also the reason why there is no /run/mpd directory, in 0.23.3 this gets removed by systemd when it gives up on starting MPD. > I'm _assuming_ that it's the same issue, but as my symptoms are somewhat > different, I thought I'd mention mine. > If this is actually a different issue which should be filed separately, let me > know and I'll do that. If you want me to run (some) tests, I can do that too. 0.23.4. which I'm uploading to unstable just now should properly fix this issue (even without the need to comment out pid_file). Florian
