Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mediatomb
On a fresh install of mediatomb on Ubuntu 9.10 server (minimal install) the daemon is unable to create the config.xml file (and hence doesn't allow configuration via the web interface). Manually attempting to start the daemon (sudo /etc/init.d/mediatomb start) shows a failure; the log file shows that the daemon appears not to be able to generate the required config file: 2009-12-31 16:52:30 INFO: Loading configuration from: /etc/mediatomb/config.xml 2009-12-31 16:52:30 ERROR: read_text_file: could not open /etc/mediatomb/config.xml This is _after_ I manually modified the directory ownership to mediatomb:mediatomb: sudo chown -r mediatomb:mediatomb /etc/mediatomb In short, the instructions on the following wiki page don't work: http://mediatomb.cc/dokuwiki/faq:faq#how_do_i_make_mediatomb_start_automatically In addition, the install package is broken (this should work out-the- box).
