[SOLVED] How to delete MPD music file database in Snakeoil?
#1
I think I've screwed up that database and the update takes forever to complete.  I need a fresh UPDATE.  May I need learn how to delete the file database in Snakeoil so that I can start over?  Thanks a lot. Shy

I assume you do not want to start from scratch and reinstall Ubuntu and SO. Try sudo apt purge mpd and then reinstall using SnakeOil tab.

Thanks.  There is a small file holding this info, just I don't know the exact folder in SnakeOil SO.

The database is located in "/var/www/config/mpd_version/database"

E.g. if you're using mpd v23, it will be "/var/www/config/mpd-v23/database" and so on.

To delete everything, you can try
Code:
sudo rm /var/www/config/mpd*/database -i

This command will prompt you whether to delete the file(s) or not.

Once this is done restart MPD and do a re-scan to regenerate the database.
