I'm on Mac for SlimServer.

Just to be sure, you're opening a browser on the Mini, pointing it to http://localhost:9000, right? Or, is your browser on a remote machine? Where is your player? See if you can connect from the local machine (the mini itself) and then make sure you can get through the Mac firewall from another machine. > 5) After a minute or so the server stops running (in system > preferences) and I can no longer get to the webpage. Do you know that it has finished scanning? Have you ever had it play? How do you know SlimServer has stopped? Did the button change in the SlimServer pref pane? Activity Monitor? (Hint: in Activity Monitor, look for the process "perl" to be using some percent of CPU.) You might want to try with a very small music library if the problem is quitting before it finishes scanning. Someone else here can tell you how to turn on debugging and where to find the logs. I've never had problems. Let us know how you make out. SlimServer works well in OS X and should be fine on the mini. -- Sally -- Sally Shears (a.k.a.
