Hi Michael,
I'm running slimserver on a Buffalo Linkstation. I downloaded the complete .tar.gz archive and expanded it in /usr/local/slimserver directory so I did not use any rpm. My call script uses --daemon and --user slimserver etc... (I created that user with its home directory at /home/slimserver).
SlimServer tries to access its database in the /root/ folder - where the user "slimserver" does not have access to. I guess the first time you ran slimserver you did it as root. Try removing /etc/slimserver* as well as ~/.slimserver.prefs. Then start slimserver as user "slimserver". This should create a new .slimserver.prefs file.
Or use the --cachedir option.
This used to work just fine for V5.4.x where all "user" files would get created in /home/slimserver but now it seems that --user doesn't completely work (seems like some paths are hardcoded maybe?)
I guess it was configured when you (accidentally?) ran it as user root.
Tonight I'll try looking at the code that generates the error to see if I can find anything...
Have fun :-)
Thanks, Daniel

Hi,
If I try to have the slimserver run as another user (slimserver), I get this message in log file: DBI connect('dbname=/root/.slimserversql.db','',...) failed: unable to open database file(1) at dbdimp.c line 94 at /usr/local/slimserver6/Slim/DataStores/DBI/DataModel.pm line 106
Since my user "slimserver" has its home directory at /home/slimserver, it's not surprising that it can't open the file in the root's home directory. If I use user "root", then it works fine.
Thanks, Daniel
