I started by following the instructions on the Debian Package Wiki: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?DebianPackage This happily installed Slimserver version 6.5.4 Mysql was also installed as a dependency and mysql --version gives: mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.38, for pc-linux-gnu (i486) using readline 5.2
If I go to http://localhost:9000 I get the slimserver web page - great. Looking at server settings shows me the following detailed version info: SlimServer Version: 6.5.4 - 12506 - Debian - EN - utf8 Server IP address: 192.168.0.99 Perl Version: 5.8.8 i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi MySQL Version: 5.0.38-Ubuntu_0ubuntu1 So - what's the problem? Well, the server plays my music fine, however when trying to install AlienBBC I ran into problems and started looking at the log file. Before even installing AlienBBC I am getting errors like: 2007-08-08 14:41:29.0975 ERROR: DBI Connection failed: DBI connect('hostname=127 .0.0.1;port=9092;database=slimserver','slimserver',...) failed: Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (111) at /usr/share/perl5/DBIx/Class/Storage/DBI.pm line 654 This is then followed by many other that result from the fact the slimserver can't connect to the database. I therefore looked at the database. It seems that the version of mysql installed is the Ubuntu Feisty standard version with no modifications. /etc/mysql/ contains my.cnf and debian.cnf that are used to provide the starting parameters to the mysql server. However, after some poking around I then find that /var/cache/slimserver/ contains its own version of my.cnf. It seems like this is not getting read, though as I cannot connect to the mysql database using mysqladmin -uslimserver but I can connect with mysqladmin -uroot If I copy /var/cache/slimserver/my.cnf or to debian.cnf the ,ysql server won't start. So my question is: how should I merge the slimserver mysql configuration files with the ones that are installed by Ubuntu? I am not using mysqld for anything else on this server. I am surprised that no one else appears to have run into this problem given the number of Ubuntu users at the moment. Anyway, any help/suggestions would be appreciated. -- azelter ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azelter's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12709 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37455 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
