I've been having one of those "inexplicable" problems and when I came by here I noticed that there's a bit of this going around. I'm starting to wonder if the latest Apple Tiger upgrade didn't break something (which is what happened to rsync a couple of weeks ago).
Basically, I've been using slimserver on a mac since last June, and yesterday I could not boot slimserver. I tried to find some networking problem, but no dice. I tried reinstalling but that doesn't help either. I can't even build the directory ~/Library/Caches/SlimServer (or was it Slimdevices? I can't remember but it's the one that contains the database). The usual perl command never shows up on ps. To debug the network, I first established a connection to slimnetworks, and got some bubbles and river sounds through. So the box is not totally fried. The network is a mini with ethernet at 192.168.0.101, airport at 192.168.0.100, di-524 router at 192.168.0.1, and SB2 at 192.168.0.102 all courtesy of dhcp. The firewall is set up as it always was with tcp and udp clear on 3483 and 9000. You know, the usual working rig. I tried quirky stuff like rebooting, unplugging router and squeezebox, holding down the "Add" button, etc. I even turned off the firewall but didn't get a reaction that way either. I can ping and traceroute to the squeezebox without a problem. I just can't get the bloody perl line started, or if I can, it dies awfully quick. Lest we suspect the perl command itself too quickly, its creation date is August 2005. It's been around. Oh before I forget, the rest of the network seems to be going as before. I can do iTunes, downloads, mail, web, etc. It's just the squeezebox that has gone partially bonkers; but its ability to get to Squeezenetworks tells me that the router/cable modem series is functional enough. I didn't drop a beer on the squeezebox, either. It's just been sitting in its usual well-ventilated spot, gathering a little dust but otherwise pampered. For starters, I'd appreciate being told if I am missing anything from a standard slimserver 6.2.1 or 6.2.2 install. All I can find right now after my latest attempt to install 6.2.2 are ~/Library/Preferences/com.slimdevices.slim.plist which is a 4 kb file of the plist kind and ~/Library/PerferencePanes/SlimServer.prefPane which is a directory with these stats: $ ls -lR ~/Library/PreferencePanes/SlimServer.prefPane/ | wc 3334 21644 181974 $ du -sh ~/Library/PreferencePanes/SlimServer.prefPane/ 27M In other words, around 3300 files with a total size of about 27 mb.
