I had a problem with this using RPM on FC3. I ran the RPM installation as 'root' and so it created the slimserver.db and slimserversql.db files in /root/ and the cachedir at /root/usr/local/slimserver/..
But the default FC3 permissions won't let user 'slimserver' read or write in /root so the slimserver daemon always failed on start. I had to play around with /root/ permissions to get it to work. (I thought I was meant to install as 'root'?) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of kdf Sent: 24 March 2005 20:24 To: Slim Devices Discussion Subject: Re: [slim] weird home directory creation on Linux Quoting Jason Diamond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On Thu, 2005-03-24 at 12:07 -0800, kdf wrote: > > edit cachedir in the prefs file ~/slimserver.pref > > or start with slimserver.pl --cachedir /path/to/my_preferred_cachelocation > > I just looked in my ~/slimserver.pref file and I see this line: > > cachedir = /home/jason > > Is that option being "combined" with another option so that the full > path is ending up being /home/jason/home/jason/SlimServer_v6.0b3?

Thus if your cachedir is /home/jason, and yoru slimserver files are located in /home/jason/Slimserver_v6.03/HTML, etc then this is what you see. if you had installed slimserver in a /usr/local/slimserver (as the RPM does), youd see a cachedir that looked like: /home/jason/usr/local/slimserver/... -kdf _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
