[2017-03-17 16:57:40] [ LOG] db: Could not open database: unable to open database file [2017-03-17 16:57:40] [FATAL] main: Database init failed

What am I doing wrong here?

Either the path to the db does not exist (usually /var/cache/forked-daapd - depends on how you built forked-daapd, but in any case you can set the path in the config), or the user that forked-daapd is running as does not have write permission to that directory.
