How hard can this be, there must be some docs somewhere for setting up
slimserver with Mysql? All I could see anywhere are the default settings
in slimserver.conf using dbi:SQLite. So whats needed to point this to
Mysql? Why are there no database settings options in the GUI?

Johnny - there is no documentation because MySQL is not officially supported.

We're a small company, and only have the resources to dedicate to one
database backend right now. We do allow you the flexibility of using a
different backend however.

Your best bet is to ask on the developers list.

The quick answer is:

dbusername=YourDBUser
dbpassword=YourDBPass
dbsource=dbi:mysql:database=YourDBName

in the config file. Read the man page for DBD::mysql

As always - patches welcome, either for documentation, or UI configuration.
