		+	=== MediaTomb fails to start with a -203 uPNP Error ===
		+	If you are seeing the following in your log output:
		+	2009-04-14 21:54:37 ERROR: main: upnp error -203
		+	2009-04-14 21:54:37 ERROR: Could not bind to socket.

		+
		+	Then it's very likley that you have another uPNP server running on your machine; the most likely candidate is the PCCast daemon which is found on the OpenLink; you can stop it from starting up by modifying:

		+	The current package provides an init script with some additional configuration. To enable automatic startup of the MediaTomb daemon edit /opt/etc/default/mediatomb and change the value of MT_ENABLE to true. After that start the daemon by issuing the following command:
		+
		+	/opt/etc/init.d/S90mediatomb start
		+
		+	In this configuration MediaTomb will listen on port 50500, this behavior can be changed by editing /opt/etc/mediatomb.conf and restarting the server which can by done by:
		+
		+	/opt/etc/init.d/S90mediatomb restart
		+
		+	The config.xml and the database of the daemon configuration will be created in /opt/etc/mediatomb after the first launch.
		+
		+	If you encounter strange behavior or are not sure what is going on, have a look at the log output which will be located in /opt/var/log/mediatomb
