How do I setup MPD correctly?

Question

I want to set up MPD on my Raspberry Pi. I am using latest Debian Wheezy, and I want MPD to run on network and to listen to any interface. So far i've installed it:

sudo apt-get install mpd

and set these variables in /etc/mpd.conf

music_directory "/mnt/Music"
bind_to_address "::"

and somehow got it working and playing my music. But after a reboot it did not start automatically and my client (gmpc) does not see anything in the database and when I try to update the database (via gmpc) it says, that it is already updating, but actually it is not updating, because mpd process is consuming only 0.3 %cpu.

Answer 1

I've changed bind_to_address to "any" and set mpd to be /var/run/mpd owner.

sudo chown mpd /var/run/mpd

and gave 755 permissions to /var/run/mpd/pid file

sudo chmod 755 /var/run/mpd/pid

Now it is working perfectly.
