mpd has a directory where, among other things, its database and pid are
stored.
If mpd is run system wide as root, this is /var/lib/mpd, as you should set
in
/etc/mpd.conf:
cascavel:~] ls -al /var/lib/mpd
total 12604
drwxr-xr-x. 5 mpd mpd 4096 Jul 18 07:12 .
drwxrwxr-x. 78 root procgrafico 4096 Jul 14 22:37 ..
-rw-r--r--. 1 mpd mpd 3350971 Jul 20 17:37 database
-rw-------. 1 mpd mpd 16 Jul 5 2012 .esd_auth
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 9508991 Jul 24 18:20 log
drwxr-xr-x. 2 mpd mpd 4096 Jul 10 09:08 music
-rw-r--r--. 1 mpd mpd 5 Jul 18 07:12 pid
drwxr-xr-x. 2 mpd mpd 4096 Jul 10 09:08 playlists
drwx------. 2 mpd mpd 4096 Feb 9 00:09 .pulse
-rw-------. 1 mpd mpd 256 Jul 5 2012 .pulse-cookie
-rw-r--r--. 1 mpd mpd 3258 Jul 20 17:42 state
If mpd is run for a single user this is generally ~/.mpd:
[cascavel:~] ls -al ~/.mpd
total 8260
drwxrwxr-x. 4 roma roma 4096 Mar 11 08:45 .
drwxr-xr-x. 115 roma roma 12288 Jul 24 17:10 ..
drwxrwxr-x. 2 roma roma 4096 Sep 2 2012 .AppleDouble
-rw-rw-r--. 1 roma roma 3313663 Mar 7 09:00 database
-rw-rw-r--. 1 roma roma 5093395 Mar 11 17:30 log
-rw-r--r--. 1 roma roma 13727 Jul 7 2012 mpd.conf
-rw-rw-r--. 1 roma roma 5 Mar 11 08:45 pid
drwxrwxr-x. 2 roma roma 4096 Oct 14 2012 playlists
-rw-rw-r--. 1 roma roma 3917 Mar 7 09:32 state
Therefore, there has never been a /var/run/mpd. To use the system wide
approach with selinux active, the files must be labelled "audio_home_t".
Nonetheless, you have to edit /etc/mpd.conf and set your choices,
removing the pounds (#) at least until:
#state_file "/var/lib/mpd/state"
Otherwise, I doubt mpd will work...
