I read in a previous posting that I can keep 5.4 and experiment with 6.0x by avoiding the RPMs and installing 6.0 from the tar.gz files. Here's what I've been doing:
1. Copy the tarball into my user home directory. 2. tar -zxvf SlimServer_v2005-03-12.tar.gz 3. chown --R on the new SlimServer_v2005-03-12 directory so the current user has rwx permissions. 4. Make sure the current 5.4 server is stopped. 5. Start 6.0 using ./slimserver.pl --daemon The server starts and seems to work, although it does eventually crash (not worried about that yet), but I get the folowing message: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/XML/Parser.pm line 17. Am I doing something wrong? Also have a few additional questions, mostly related to general use of Linux. 1. How do I go about getting 6.0 to run as a user other than root? I tried ./slimserver.pl --user usernamehere but maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree? 2. How do I go about changing things so that 6.0 starts at boot instead of 5.4? I'm learning Linux a little at at time but I'm thinking it has something to do with removing the symlink for slimserver from the appropriate runlevel script folder, in this case /etc/rc.d/rc5.d. Am I in the right ball park? 3. Do I need to run 6.0 as a unique user and not as user slimserver, since slimserver is the user for my 5.4 installation? 4. I was under the impression that I could find preferences and cache folders within the newly created installation folder /home/user/SlimServer_v2005-03-12. But it looks like the cache is located in /usr/local/slimserver/Cache/home/user and the prefs are located...argh..somewhere else, can't find it right now. My question is this: As I add and remove various installations, are there places within the file structure that I should be cleaning up? I'm used to Windows uninstall routines (which don't always remove everything), how do I complete the uninstall process in Linux? I'm running RH 9 on a PIII 550 with 192 megs RAM. Thanks for any help.
