Here's what i do: (as root) I get the *.tgz from slimdevices and save it in /usr/src
**Commands: adduser slimserver cd /usr/src tar xvzf SlimServer_v6.5.1.tar.gz mv /usr/src/SlimServer_v6.5.1/ /usr/local ln -s /usr/src/SlimServer_v6.5.1/ /usr/local/slimserver mkdir /var/slimserver chown slimserver /var/slimserver **if you try to start slimserver you'll get som complaints about missing autosplit.ix. This is solved by installing the perl module Compress::Zlib. runthe command: cpan -i Compress::Zlib **next you will have to edit your /etc/slimserver.conf search for the cachedir and edit it so it looks like this: cachedir: /var/slimserver ** and remember chown slimserver /etc/slimserver.conf Now it's time to run the slimserver. NOTE! Do NOT run the server as root. here's the start command /usr/local/slimserver/slimserver.pl --user slimserver --daemon build the perl scripts if required as instructed, and start server again, using the same command as above Hope i did not miss any steps. if so i probably will hear:) Good luck Slackers, -- stone ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3440 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27694 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
