I have been having a few problems here and there with the latest group of builds, but I seemed to sort out my problems last night.
Each new update for the past few weeks seemed to have been going great, but then I decided to re-scan my music and got the 0 songs 0 albums deal. I had a couple of old builds that I considered more stable saved, so I tried them and still no go. I then for some reason decided to run Slimserver from the command line as a normal user, and voila it started up fine and I was able to do a complete scan that found all my music. Paying a bit more attention to detail I noticed Slimserver had made a new slimserver.pref in my home directory, and had created a new folder called "Cache" in my home directory. Taking these two bits of info I copied the slimserver.pref to /etc/slimserver/ and cleaned out the old cache directory in /var/cache/slimserver, and then invoked slimserver normally as root from /etc/init.d/ and everything seems to be peachy keen since. The biggest change I noticed in slimserver.pref was that mysqld seems to be the default now, whereas previously I had manually created a mysql database, username, and password for slimserver, now it seems I don't need to do any of that, so I just deleted my old database. So my points to try if you have problems are invoke slimserver to create a new slimserver.pref (as normal user is what I did) and clean out the old cache directory in /var/cache/slimserver.
