Well the title of this post is a liitle tounge in cheek anyway I worked this one out not sure if it was before or after reading the "installation.txt" file.
Anyway here is an extract from the current installation.txt "As part of the debugging support, if there is no /etc/slimserver.conf file, or if it is not readable when the slimserver starts, it will look for ~.slimserver.conf that is, the normally hidden file .slimserver.conf in the home directory of the current user. If the server dies without any visible error messages, check the log file. For more verbose messages, start the program with the options of --d_server To refresh the configuration parameters, you can simply delete the /etc/slimserver.conf file (or rename it to something else). This will cause the slimserver to search for the ~.slimserver.conf, and failing that, to recreate it with default values. " I think what I did was delete the blankslinserver.conf and all was well....If I didn't do that I copied the contents of the hidden .conf and made it readable/writtable by all and sundry and all was well.
