Sorry Richard, but that's about the extent of my knowledge. :-( I can only suggest that you do a search for slimserversql.db and slimserver.db and the ../usr/local/slimserver.. stuff to see where it's put them and go from there.
It sounds like you did all the right things (unlike me), so I'm not sure quite where it's gone wrong for you. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Richard Elen Sent: 08 April 2005 22:06 To: Slim Devices Discussion Subject: Re: [slim] SS6.0.1-1, RH7.2, db do failed, readonly Hmmm... I read a discussion about that earlier, and I've never run Version 6 as root. In this case I installed the new version over the old one using the Upgrade option which should uninstall the old version first. My understanding is that the install script should create the user slimserver and give it ownership of the relevant bits. I took care not to run the new version as root - I used: ./slimserver --user slimserver to avoid that; so that when it was run 'first time' it wouldn't create files and permissions that were awkward. This is the same as the procedure I used upgrading from 5.4.1 to 6.0.0. My suspicion is that the ownership of something has changed and I need to delete some files and let the app recreate them, but which and where I know not... Thanks for your helpful comments, though, because if I hadn't run it as root before, I certainly have now! I just need to know what and where are the files to delete etc! --Richard E Patrick Dixon wrote: > I'm NOT a Linux expert (!) but I had a similar problem when I first tried on > FC3.
