And following that howto, I now have it working. MySql 5.0.2.4 on Ubuntu.
I have my own installation notes for all my Linux software, and here's my steps for 6.5: > > apt-get install gcc libexpat1-dev > > Get the tarball > (e.g.) wget SlimServer_v6.5.0.tar.gz > > Unzip it > tar -xzf SlimServer_v6.5.0.tar.gz > > Move it > mv SlimServer_v6.5.0 /usr/local > > Symlink > cd /usr/local > rm slimserver > ln -s SlimServer_v6.5.0 slimserver > > Build it (ignore signedness messages) > /usr/local/slimserver/Bin/build-perl-modules.pl > /usr/bin/perl > /usr/local/slimserver > /tmp > > Create a MySql database > mysql -uroot -pxxxxx > create database slimserver; > grant all on slimserver.* to slimserver identified by 'music'; > > Edit the preferences file > nano /slim/slimserver.pref > > dbsource:dbi:mysql:database=slimserver;mysql_socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock > dbusername: slimserver > dbpassword: yyyyy > > (this assumes the socket is correct see mysql_config socket) > > Ensure that permissions are correct > chown R /usr/local/slimserver slimserver > chown /tmp/slimserver.log slimserver > > Start it > cd slimserver > ./slimserver.pl --daemon > > Create a startup file /etc/init.d/slimserver > #!/bin/sh > echo "Starting SlimServer" > cd /usr/local/slimserver; > ./slimserver.pl --daemon --d_server --d_info --d_sql --logfile > /tmp/slimserver.log > > Set the file permissions > chmod 755 /etc/init.d/slimserver > > Create the chklevel links > cd /etc/rc2.d > ln -s /etc/init.d/slimserver S99slimserver > > Hope this helps.
