In a nutshell, hell yes! It's more difficult to setup than on Linux but pretty much all of the info is out there.
Here's an excellent link for getting things setup: http://blogs.sun.com/warren/entry/update_running_slimserver_on_solaris You'll also need to download and install MySQL seperately. The MySQL included with Solaris 10 will not work (it's too old of a version). I've used MySQL 5.033 and 5.041 without problems. A good resource for setting up MySQL on Solaris 10 is: http://meljr.com/~meljr/mysql_Sol10.html This assumes you are using the MySQL that came with Solaris. Change paths accordingly. To use SlimServer with MySQL you'll need to read: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?ExistingMySQLInstance SlimServer uses an older authentication method so you'll need to use the old_password command on your SlimServer user in MySQL. See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html I ended up compiling Perl 5.8.8 using Sun Studio 11 with no problems. Same for MySQL. The tricky part of my Perl installation was when it asked about the link to /usr/bin/perl and whether or not I wanted to change it to point to 5.8.8. You want it to change the symlink for you so you don't have to modify any of your Perl scripts (Slimserver, scanner.pl, et al.) I went from running SlimServer on XP home to Solaris 10 and was amazed at how much better it performed. -- 4mula1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4mula1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3439 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35808 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
